I'm still wondering how slashtop can boot so fast. Here's some faq points from the splashtop web site:
1. What is Splashtop?
Splashtop is a proprietary pre-boot environment, developed by DeviceVM, which allows you to rapidly access certain applications without the need to boot your main operating system. Splashtop boots out of the BIOS on your PC motherboard, and launches a lightweight Linux stack capable of running certain applications like the Splashtop web browser, and the Skype VOIP program. The Splashtop environment allow you to open a web browser, check email, watch videos, instant message, and place VOIP calls within seconds instead of minutes.
2. How do I use Splashtop?
Splashtop comes pre-installed on your PC motherboard. When you press the power button on your PC, Splashtop will boot (generally in 5 seconds or less) and give you several options. You can launch Skype or the Splashtop web browser (based on Mozilla Firefox.) Alternatively you can launch your primary operating system (generally Windows or some version of Linux.) If you make no selection for 10 seconds, your operating system will launch normally. You can configure your BIOS settings to skip Splashtop and always launch your operating system immediately.
3. Is Splashtop based on Linux?
Splashtop has two components. One is the core engine, a real-time operating system that runs out of the system BIOS. The second is an optimized Linux stack that boots rapidly and can run most Linux-based applications.
