I checked out of SVN sugar and ran it on Ubuntu and was severely 
dissappointed with what I saw. This was before I had received my XO and 
was very worried that it was going to be terrible. I was very happy when 
I actually got it, and had a good experience with it.

Anyway, i'm up for meeting up with other XO users and seeing how the 
social features work. I'm interested to see how these areas of the os work.

Peace
