    Never heard of it but upon searching I read that it just installs itself via windows and is only a 2Mb download, go for it.

    The site says it's only supported by these HP netbooks:

    I tried it on my desktop (I know that's not exactly what it was meant for). The resolution is terrible even for a netbok (and unchangable), thought it had a pretty poor gui overall :/

    Some motherboards come with Splashtop embedded, I've got it on my Asus board in this pc. It doesn't offer any customisation, you cannot change the resolution of the screen, but its not meant to be fancy with all bells and whistles, its a quick booting lightweight linux OS that has all the basic functions of a standard OS, Skype, browser, text editor, gmail etc without the overheads of a running full OS
