Many analysts are applauding HP's decision to place its Linux-based WebOS on all of its Windows-based PCs in 2012 as an alternative fast-boot distro.

An the penguins march onwards.

When I was looking around for a netbook, I tried out a few that came with a fastboot OS that let you access e-mails, basic office features and the internet within a few seconds of turning the PC on. It was a great little feature and I really wish I had it on my current netbook!

I did set up dual booting when I first got it, however it was nowhere near as fast to boot as the "instant-on" OS, so wasn't worth it.
