Microsoft Considers "Instant On" Windows 440

Barence writes "In what might be a glimpse of things to come in Windows 7, Microsoft is asking customers whether they would be interested in a new 'Instant-on' version of Windows. 'We would like your feedback on a new concept,' the Microsoft survey states. 'The Instant On experience is different from "Full Windows" because it limits what activities you can do and what applications you can have access to.' Sounds interesting but hardly new: Asus and Dell have produced laptops that provide swift access to apps and data using Linux subsystems."

Yeah, but when you pop that cd in, after you click next and sell your soul to their EULAs, windows runs 30% slower and you've got a taskbar full of crap you never wanted, not to mention the required reboot and "please register this software" dialogs that never go away.

Of course they could have a dysfunctional driver packaged with their product. In that case you'll have to download their latest 50 mb driver. (think of the dial-up implications)
