Sugar on my Vista laptop
Today I installed QEMU emulator and managed to get the OLPC XO’s Sugar user interface running on my Windows Vista laptop.
Sugar is based on Fedora with a custom GUI shell. Here’s Sugar over Vista:
Sugar offering to search for more “activities” i.e. XO applications:
It’s been an interesting experience 
There were a couple of hiccups. As soon as I’m sure of my facts, I’ll make my first update to the laptop.org wiki. So far, my only real problem is that I can’t install the QEMU accelerator module (Kqemu). Windows Vista says the .inf file “does not support this method of installation” 
But no worries, I can do without the extra speed for now.
Next: Get to grips with Sugar in its emulated state.
Update: I found a Kqemu accelerator for Windows here: http://www.h7.dion.ne.jp/~qemu-win/
See “Accelerators” near bottom of page — link http://www.h6.dion.ne.jp/~kazuw/qemu-win/Kqemu-1.3.0pre11-install.exe
I installed it in folder “C:\Program Files\Qemu\Kqemu”. This seems to work — I don’t get the error message in the cmd window now.
