Didn't Microsoft try to create an instant on thing that was a huge flop? Something that involved using an outside LCD on your laptop or something like that? I think it was called slideshow?

Anyways, it was a huge flop. This is unlikely to be, given that Linux based software is actually capable of instant on. MS just can't seem to get rid of the bloat. Plus, I'm sure this doesn't add much to the cost wheras MS stuff costs you arm plus dog.

The MSI Wind laptop comes preloaded with either Windows XP, or Linux. The Linux version is I think $100 cheaper than if it came with XP.

Though I’m just familiar with how XP feels.

back in the 80's one of the first laptops had Windows on a chip, same with Lotus and a couple other programs too... real fast for the day

I’ve tasted Dell’s Linux support. In fact I’ve sampled their Windows Vista support, as well.

No thanks.

I finally managed to install Ubuntu (from the DVD included in the official book, which states it’s a CD), only took ten tries, four different CPUs, and (on the final machine) five reboots. S’cool.
