Sugar OS

The OLPC's now-former OS is going it alone, and should work on other platforms, including the Asus Eee sometime in the future.

Small form-factor PCs are hurting when it comes to OS support. By "hurting", I'm not talking about availability either. These small form-factor PCs have limited screen real estate, something that is not intelligently handled by the current Linux or Windows flavors out there.

Hopefully Sugar OS can do some interesting stuff that will make it compelling on the increasingly popular (and cheap) ultraportable market.
