If this is instant boot, I am hoping it is not like Asus' ExpressGate. I am also hoping that this will not a be a limited OS for that fast boot. Also as others have mentioned, how much of a battery difference there is.

S3 chews a bit of power still (to ram, chipset etc to hold the contents of the ram), this sounds like a zero power off state that starts up just as quick...
Its probably another lame Linux OS that has very limited use. I have a Lenovo S10e with a similar useless product. I ended up uninstalling it because it would actually cause Windows to boot slower because it wants to boot first. I just don't see the point?
Yeah my Asus G50VT came with a similar OS called "Express Gate" it's pretty lame but if you're in a jam and just need to get on the web to read something or use IM/Skype it's pretty fast.
