"San Jose-based startup DeviceVM made waves last year when it unveiled Splashtop, a nearly instant-on Linux environment stored in the flash memory usually reserved for motherboard BIOS. The company previewed an upcoming revision to Splashtop at this year's Consumer Electronics Show in January, then gave us the chance to take a hands-on look at this intriguing system software."

my sisters hp laptop already come with such a feature ("instant" on media player), and i suspect it may be linux based.
however, i do believe it runs of a partition on the drive, not of a flash chip on the motherboard.
