SplashTop Linux On HP, Dell Notebooks?

Back in October we were the first to deliver a full review of the DeviceVM's SplashTop, which is an instant-on Linux desktop embedded into motherboards, before the product was even unveiled. This technology was quite innovative and we were very fond of it and its original concept. This review went on to jump-start DeviceVM and garner media interest. Since the launch of SplashTop less than a year ago, we've named it as one of the greatest Linux innovations of 2007 and SplashTop is continuing to ship on more and more motherboards. To the open-source community they have released a few patches but not much more than that right now (and hopefully an SDK later this year). Over the past few months there have been DeviceVM engineers working on new features such as virtualization support to boot to a traditional OS while running within this instant Linux environment, etc.
