Video.

TL;DW.

As someone with a desktop and a netbook, I can't help but ask, "why bother?"

I already have something like this built into the BIOS, Express gate.  Boots to a web browser in around 2-5 seconds.

Doesn't the Android netbook OS do just this?

......

Plus, I doubt a web browser can run TF2.

On my netbook with imperfect drivers, from power to Firefox being usable is 52.7 seconds. This is assuming the computer was booted from off and not hibernate. Booting from hibernate trims that time down to 26.9 s. In each case, 10 of those seconds is used for BIOs to post.

Is trimming down from 16.9 s really worth a whole operating system?
