The concept isn't exactly new: Asus and Dell have produced laptops that provide swift access to apps and data using Linux subsystems. Now it seems Microsoft is intent on offering such a facility itself.
ASUS has for a while been selling motherboards that can boot from a preinstalled Linux that can play media, get E-Mail, browse the internet and I think some light word processing. Now it appears Microsoft views that as a threat or opportunity and is considering doing the same. I'll be curious as to just how much actual "Windows" is in the "Instant on Windows" and how long it takes to come to market.
