I wish I'd recorded the talk: the whole Sugar environment is done completely differently from the OS conventions we're used to now.

Paraphrasing (and I may misquote him slightly), he said that using Sugar doesn't involving starting up an application but rather with "what do I want to do", and everything is built around that.

It's a powerful idea, one that has potential to transcend this project into how we interact with future operating systems.

Also, the mesh networking idea (every laptop is a router, that can forward packets even in suspend mode) has potential in how wireless networks of the future will work.
