In computers, instant-on is the ability to boot nearly instantly, thus allowing to go online or to use a specific application without waiting for a PC's traditional operating system to launch. Instant-on technology is today mostly used on laptops, netbooks, and nettops because the user can boot up one program, instead of waiting for the PC's entire operating system to boot. For instance, a user may want to just launch a movie playing software or launch an Internet browser, without needing the whole operating system. There are and were true instant-on machines such as the Atari ST and early Apple Inc. Macintosh as described in the Booting article. These machines had complete Operating Systems resident in ROM similar to the way in which the BIOS function is conventionally provided on current computer architectures. The "instant-on" concept as used here results from loading an OS, such as a legacy system DOS, with a small hard drive footprint. Latency inherent to mechanical drive performance can also be eliminated by using Live USB or Live SD flash memory to load systems at electronic speeds which are orders of magnitude faster. ==List of systems== *Acer InstaBoot Netbook (based on Splashtop) *Acer RevoBoot Nettop (based on Splashtop) *Asus Express Gate motherboards, notebooks, Eee Box (nettop), and EeePCs (based on Splashtop) *Canonical product announced in early 2010 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Canonical Blog )〕 *Dell Latitude ON, Latitude On Reader (based on Splashtop), Latitude On Flash (based on Splashtop) *Google Chrome OS〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Official Blog: Introducing the Google Chrome OS )〕 *HP QuickWeb Probook notebook (based on Splashtop) *HP Instant On Solution Voodoo & Envy notebook (based on Splashtop) *HP Instant Web netbook (based on Splashtop) *Lenovo QuickStart (based on Splashtop) *LG SmartOn (based on Splashtop) *Mandriva InstantOn〔http://www2.mandriva.com/instanton/ 〕 *MSI Winki〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MSI Military Class II Concept )〕 *Palm Foleo *Phoenix HyperSpace〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=HP® Official Site | Laptop Computers, Desktops, Printers, Servers, Services and more )〕 *Sony Quick Web Access (based on Splashtop) *Splashtop Inc.
