Microsoft Considers "Instant On" Windows

Barence writes "In what might be a glimpse of things to come in Windows 7, Microsoft is asking customers whether they would be interested in a new 'Instant-on' version of Windows. 'We would like your feedback on a new concept,' the Microsoft survey states. 'The Instant On experience is different from "Full Windows" because it limits what activities you can do and what applications you can have access to.' Sounds interesting but hardly new: Asus and Dell have produced laptops that provide swift access to apps and data using Linux subsystems."

I don't know. I had a little recycle icon that told me I needed to reboot in notifications. I never did -- it crashed on its own overnight (as it so often does) and I restarted today. I've been using Ubuntu for a few months now and I'm trying to learn as little as possible.
