Xandros' Presto quick launch for Skype
Xandros previewed Presto last week, a light operating system that boots your laptop quickly so you can be running Skype (for Linux) in about 8 seconds instead of minutes. Firefox, Skype, your Windows files and thousands of other apps and media are available through the presto application store.
Unlike Splashtop, which is installed at your notebook's factory (with Skype included), you download Presto onto Windows computers. It will cost $19.95, but those who sign up for the beta after 16 March will get a discount when it goes on sale 13 April 2009.
Presto could make netbooks even better portable Skype devices.
Hat tip to John Maas.
