Editing Instant-on (section)

==Pros and cons==
An instant-on operating system is like those used by 1980s home computers such as the [[Commodore 64]]. This offers many advantages over a standard modern operating system:
* faster booting;
* less vulnerable to [[malware]] as the system is mostly read-only;
* allows for diskless computers;
* lighter;
* lower power consumption.

However, this comes at the price of having limited local functionality, while focusing on web / cloud services. {{Citation needed|date=February 2012}}
