Remember Splashtop? The embedded Linix OS that allowed you to boot up and get on the net in just 10 seconds? Well Asus are expanding its use with more motherboards.

I still wonder if you can customise Splashtop, or if it is just on a ROM chip or something...

The ultimate benching OS - hopefully it'll make its way on to more high-end OC-focussed boards.

I wonder how easy it'll be to hack BIOSLinux onto these

Whoopsie. Seams like a pretty cool idea if your OS is broke but i struggle to see the advantage most of the time.

They need to trickle this down to less expensive motherboards. I didn't want to pay that much for ASUS's top of the line motherboard with the computer I just built, but I would love this feature.

If When they integrate a media player into this I will definitely get one for a HTPC, especially if its based on a decent integrated chip that can handle HD.

its supposed to boot very fast

sometimes you just want to call, look at a website or SSH into something - not having to wait 20 mins is a definite bonus
