HyperSpace: An instant on operating system coming to Nettops

Here is another instant on OS for the nettops: Phoenix’s HyperSpace OS. Interestingly, it will be coming preloaded on nettops powered by the Intel Atom 230 or Atom 330 processors. HyperSpace is one of those most “Instant On” types of OS that are quicker to boot up and shut down than Windows XP. As expected, it comes with only essential apps. The cost varies from $33 – $60 a year depending on what subscription you get.

According to Phoenix Technologies, HyperSpace “delivers instant-on, always-connected access to the Internet and key productivity applications such as HyperSpace Office Suite, Adobe Photoshop, Hulu, McAfee, Real Networks, Yahoo Search, etc.”

Hyperspace is an instant on OS based on Linux kernel. By a curious chance, I know it very well that there is no photoshop available for the Linux operating systems.

Does anyone actually use these instant on operating systems? I instead prefer to put my netbook in sleep mode instead of shutting it down completely.
