Review: Fast Boot Your PC With Xandros Presto

[ Thanks to Linerd
for this link. ]

“Presto is free to try. A full license will cost you
$19.95 USD. The system will nag you to purchase a license each time
you start it up. If you don’t activate your copy within 7
days, then the OS will automatically shut down after 10 minutes of
use.

“You can download the Presto Windows installer from CNET, or
there is a torrent available if you choose. I downloaded the
torrent – which was really more of a trickle. Once you have
the 463 MB .exe file you can install it from Windows with the usual
procedure. I’d estimate that it took about 5 minutes to
install on my MSI Wind. After it’s done, just reboot and
select Presto from the Windows boot menu. (My machine was already
dual booting XP and Ubuntu Jaunty. I selected Windows from the GRUB
menu and then was presented with the Windows boot menu to select
Presto.)”
