Instead of having to wait for Windows to boot, the technology allows
all a PC's entertainment functions - TV, DVD, CD, MP3, radio - to be
run on a pared-down version of the open-source Linux operating system,
called LinDVD.

Rather than sitting on a hard drive, LinDVD is small enough to be held
in a read-only memory chip and boots in 10 seconds flat.

10 seconds? Where's the fun in that?
