The REAL instant-on OS will be a thing of the future, because it needs to take advantage of the future SSD technology. Giving the horrifying fact that SSD's speed keeps rocketing at an insanely rate, I have no doubt it will eventually reach the speed of RAM, and when that day comes, we just use part of the SSD as RAM.
And suddenly, every OS then, will be INSTANT ON!!!! Not only that, it has a bonus called: INSTANT OFF.
Because the SSD "IS" the RAM, so the system has nothing to unload & save before power off, and it has nothing to load during boot up.
If you're confused, try ask yourself: How can you load something when it's already there?
