wow, imagine having this on a mini laptop (like the asus eee, or acer one.) Where you most of the time just want to browse or use skype, or some small task, and then if you do want to do a bigger task needing windows just click the button and away you go. Loving it to death… however, why only for a x86 system? isn’t that just recompiling for a different system, but then again most people have x86 systems.

I imagine Google is seeing how cool Asus made their eEE PC, booting with their own brand. Heck, I use it more than I drop into Windows. It would be nice if someone could come up with this concept and it be a little more configurable, like giving the ability to VNC also. Who knows, something like this could end up being extremely useful.
