    Is this a pure Canonical project?

    I'm going to be ignorant here. I see that you can add this to sources and browse new in repository. Is this installable like a window manager, and if so which packages would you select? Is this 64 bit? Can you make an ISO?

    It looks like the idea is for Canonical to sell it to OEMs, so i'd say yes.

    Interestingly it looks like the idea is for this to actually be installed on the hard drive, not a chip on the mobo like Splashtop.

    It's Ubuntu but tweaked for OEM specific hardware to boot super fast.

    If the only reason you think your software is better is because it's FOSS, you need to write better software

    My point is that it's a slightly different (and better) setup from the previous pre-installed Linux-lite systems we've seen.
