And all the other companies now doing an instant on OS. I tried to test it out on my old Sony P3 laptop, which dual boots Windows and Ubuntu, however it did not work. It would install nicely, but when I boot into it the mouse only goes half way down the screen (I could not click shutdown) and the mouse buttons did not work so I could not try any of the apps.
