Dell has announced that they are equipping a range of enterprise laptops with their “Latitude ON” subsystem, which allows nearly instant access to a Linux desktop that can be used for simple tasks such as email, web browsing etc. Dell has previewd the system on new Latitude E4200 and E4300 models, but few other details are available.

Isn’t this a bios thing? And what about all the IP issues involved?
@Jeni: What are you? A Microsoft schill?
And the next time you post a comment, please use a real email address. You think I can’t recognise instant email services?
Thirdly, what IP issues? If Linux has IP issues why hasn’t it been brought up in court (except for the SCO case, and went in Linux’s favour)? The code is there for all to see. Microsft keeps on making vague allegations, but no actual facts seem to present themselves. “Get the Facts”, my ass.
PS. Stripped your comment of the link to the FUD site.
