I think that is great :) However, it seems possible only with either a top-down state mandate to use Sugar as a desktop, or a bottoms-up local exceptional IT support person who can support a GNU/Linux deployment. I think it is unlikely for autonomous schools or districts who have Windows computers to reinstall them with a Sugar distro. I also think that even in places with top-down state mandates for state-owned computers, having Sugar run natively on Windows would help drive adoption of constructionist education: Last week I spoke to the NDSU "local lab" (https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/North_Dakota_State_University) and they said that no one would install a distro on home computers (running Windows) because either they couldn't figure out how to boot from a USB key, despite the documentation provided, or, the family wouldn't permit the documentation to be followed because of the risk of data loss and idling the machine while waiting for tech support.
