    Phoronix: SplashTop Hooks Up With Bing, Chromium

    It was precisely one month ago I was wondering what happened to SplashTop and found the company that we jump-started by our first-in-the-world coverage was still pushing out their instant-on Linux OS to various OEM vendors but they have lost their roots of using the Linux environment embedded on a motherboard's flash chip to instead being nestled away on the user's hard drive, which defeats much of its uniqueness and benefits (not to mention it was hacked by Phoronix readers).

          MS most likely eventually will end up buying SplashTop and use its technologies to make SplashTop a mini-Windows environment instead of a Linux-based one. Now that gives me the willies!
