I found this pretty cool.

This would make life so much easier, and not to mention if/when it's done with other OS's.
Despite the obvious convenience factors, Asus is most interested in Splashtop for its energy efficiency. Using Splashtop the computer is still powered on (pretty much like normal, less the disk activity) but the key here is that you don’t have to leave your computer on all the time. If you just want to check your email or go to a web site, you can simply leave the system off and boot into Splashtop, which takes just a few seconds. You will have instant access to a basic Linux desktop with applications like Firefox and Skype.

This is the first time a major company like Asus has included it, or even supported it.
From cold to web surfing in <10 seconds.
But I use the time it takes to boot up to warm up for the web surfing.
The freaky new webapps that'll come with it. We've already got Presdo.
Your IM client just became a lot less important.
Huh, that's pretty goddamn cool. I see what they're trying to do though. They're trying to make us use their stuff because it's so goddamn nifty.
