It uses Linux, so there is no needed.

why still need windows? can it do stand alone install?

[LRMMcDonnell]

it's just another OS, not a software app

[kbo206]

I might as well just dual-boot Windows and my preferred Linux distro at that point.

No he isn't, I have Presto and it is an instant shut down. Nothing to save to disk. Even if i click the menu, shut down button its instant, like a T.V.

[NamelessNLS]

its like ubuntu sry Xubuntu and WUbi installer. AND UBUNTU IS FREE AND DO THE SAME, :D

[peterjaena]

That's not hard shutdown. Presto really does shutdown instantly. It does not need to save anything to disk while shutting down.

Actually, I have Windows Power Management configured to shutdown when the lid gets closed. No key needed!

At the end when he's shutting down the computer he's just hard-shutting it down... I can do that with any computer. Just keep pressed on your hardware shutdown button for a few seconds...

Of course, this is not advised and there's a reason.
