Who needs an OS ;-)?

This is the funniest joke on MS bloat.
Asus mentions as advantages 'instant boot' and 'not sensitive to MS virusses'.

They will implement this on all future mobos, and start with 1 M pieces a month.

You can embed FreeDOS in your own BIOS:

Asus mb's already come with Dos boot files embedded on them. Not much use
for Dos these days anyway. Linux embedded sounds great though.

This is good in general as most people who are not computer literate
will wonder why Linux boots so fast when windows won't. This will put
Open Source in a good light, and I wonder what M$ will say and do to
counteract this, they probably can not do much as they are already
getting flack for Windows XP available only for sub notebooks.
