If its an Asus board, then will it have the Splashtop embedded Linux instant on option? All new Asus mobos are supposed to have it. If it does, how about you mention to folks that Splashtop means that instead of loading up your OS, you can immediately access Firefox, Skype, instant messaging and a photo viewer. RIGHT AWAY. If Apple had came out with this, we would be talking about how it changed computing. Isnt slow loading times something we have been complaining for years?

Asus will laugh itself to the bank while other companies scramble to copy it and make something similar. Everyone has been ignoring the need to have a low power download rig today.

A Mac Mini replacement, that does it with Style ;). This looks good. I hope it takes off. Only that the specs are a bit lame - but still it is priced great.
