"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."

I actually like the idea of splashtop. I agree with the other posters that it should have better BIOS options in it for tweaking, etc. But at the same time, an instant-on DVD player, or instant on system for checking emails online sounds like a great idea, and is something that I'd appreciate out of a laptop. Also the fact that it would use less of the battery (due to no hard drive usage) when watching movies with your laptop on a flight or something sounds like a real plus. Just my 2 cents!
