Nobody ever liked looking at a boot screen, especially when in a hurry for quick access to a bit of needed information. Quick-boot technology has been around for ages, it seems, going seemingly nowhere, as if taunting. However, a number of new products displayed recently at CES by companies such as Sony, Lenovo, Phoenix, and Qualcomm, gives one the idea that the quick-boot technology will soon be implemented into netbooks, and all for the better (quicker, at least).

Computers have always been instant on ie. booting up within seconds such as the Amiga and Atari. It is only been the last 15 years (since around Windows 95) that we've put up with boot ups that take minutes.
