Sony VAIO P

One of the biggest problems with notebook computers has always been performance.  While laptop components have gotten more and more advanced, operating systems have gotten more demanding.  Computer makers have been trying ways around this with alternative operating systems. 

Since most people will probably want a computer with a full OS, it is now common to see two separate operating systems on one PC. 

Sony has just announced its Vaio P (its not-a-netbook) will now come with Corel InstantON.  InstantON is a stripped down operating system that allows you to access to your computer without booting up a full operating system like Windows.  The OS will be customized for Sony and will allow the user to do basic tasks like web browsing and playing back media like music and audio.  The Vaio P will still come with Windows in case you still want to do more complex tasks.
