But if you cut power, then you loose everything, right? Your computer isn't truely "OFF". And you have to boot first before you can put your machine in STR mode.
I am talking about a theoretical computer that has everything on flash (or ROM, etc) memory (except maybe large storage). So, just like on a PocketPC, you hit the power button, and POOF the computer is ready to go. No booting. Programs that run on startup, like AntiVirus, will be in flash also.
I see what you are saying Sandman333, and it sounds cool. I will have to check it out.
