“If you’re a corporate Windows user on the go, chances
are your PC might take several minutes to get up and running if you
just want to get onto the Internet, GMail, surf, Twitter, FaceBook,
instant message, Skype, or what have you. Well, now there’s a
solution: Presto.

“Presto is actually an ultra-stripped down Linux that has been
optimized to boot on even the oldest PC laptop hardware in a matter
of seconds. Unlike other Linux environments that require
re-partitioning of your system, Presto actually is stored in the
C:Program FilesPresto directory on your native Windows NTFS file
system and installs just like a regular Windows Program.”
