Parent article: Negroponte on OLPC's commitment to Sugar

I participated in the OLPC G1G1 and also purchased an ASUS Eee PC.  At the time my children
were 
three and five.  Both of them quickly gave up on the OLPC and gravitated more to the ASUS
product.  
It may be that the OLPC is targeting older children?  I don't know.  What I do know is that I
found 
the Sugar UI to be slow, very slow, and quite frankly unintuitive. I found myself trying to
figure out 
how to use it.  

Just my 2 cents.
