October, when the instant-on Linux desktop was announced. At the time it
was a really exciting concept but Asus only rolled out the technology on
high-end motherboards. Splashtop [1]just announced that Asus will be
expanding the desktop to the P5Q motherboard family and later on to all
Asus motherboards. That's embedded Linux shipping over over a million
motherboards a month! The release also mentioned that the technology will
be appearing on notebooks this year as well."
