A colleague recently pointed me to the Splashtop website: http://www.splashtop.com/ and then days later a discussion with friends brought it back to mind.
So what is Splashtop? It's a small Linux distribution which launches in a matter of seconds at bootup allowing you to almost instantly access the internet using a fully-fledged browser. The website offers some nice demos which give you the "feel" for the way it works and naturally, its impressive startup speed.
The following movie shows the basic Splashtop environment. Note that later versions have already been improved on with new functionalities!
It looks like it might be time to give up on that two-minute bootup wait before you look up your favourite recipe, check your email or look up a new road itinerary.
Splashtop is currently bundled with ASUS motherboards and notebooks.
