<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Albert,<BR>
I think you're totally wrong with respect to windows and collaboration. It has *NOTHING* like sugars collaborative capabilities. What program allows allows two children to start jointly writing a document with two clicks on a mouse?<BR>

Cheers<BR>

Sugar isn't helped when people shout down any criticism.<BR>
Living in denial about the competition just leads to failure.<BR>
I'm far from a fan of Windows, but it gets many things right.<BR>
<BR>
If you think booting both into Sugar would have helped Sugar,<BR>
then you obviously haven't seen the collaboration capabilities<BR>
of Windows. Booting both into Windows would allow file sharing.<BR>
Compared to what Sugar does, file sharing is very reliable.<BR>
It works with **all** programs, without any developer effort.<BR>
It's compatible between different software versions, different<BR>
types of software, and even different OSes. It even eliminates<BR>
the need to maintain a continuous network connection, which is<BR>
great for kids without wired networks or reliable electricity.<BR>
