so... for those most basic needs you can be up and running your stuff real quickly, while windows gets going in the background.
real nifty and not just a side project.
Wow. that is really neat. Due to the limitations of the SplashTop, I can't really see it being huge benefit for most people. However, the idea as a whole is awesome and definitely exciting to see the way it could go as far as troubleshooting and recovery etc. Besides, who wants to wait more than 5 seconds if they don't really have to?
