Microsoft mulls 'Instant On' for Windows
C|Net | at | by Mike
If you feel that Windows starts too slowly most days, Microsoft is considering an option that could help.
The company is surveying select users on whether an "instant on" feature, which would rush a usable desktop to your screen in just seconds, is something they'd like included with Windows.
"The concept is called 'Instant On.' Instant On takes your computer from being completely powered down or turned off to being usable for a few specific activities in a very short amount of time," according to excerpts from the survey posted by Engadget.
