Presto

Presto is a new beta product from Linux vendor Xandros. It runs pretty much on any x86-based system. Presto was built for boot-up speed. It boots up real quick so you don't have to wait for everything to load up.
It takes Presto just 15.3 seconds to get to a loaded desktop. Presto installs on top of Microsoft Windows and lets users choose to quickly boot into the lightweight Linux Presto OS instead of Windows. Presto comes with several applications pre-installed on it such as, Firefox, the Skype client, Pidgin instant messaging application, RealPlayer, the OpenOffice.org productivity suite, and a PDF viewer.
In Presto, users can access Web browsers, instant messaging, Skype and many other applications, while still being able to access the files and folders located in the underlying Windows system.
