The boot-up time is a non-issue for Moblin, which boots in 5 seconds. And you can install Chromium (the browser) on Moblin too.

Which DID boot in 5 seconds(seems to have become slower AFAICT) on modified hardware or from the bootloader. (I have the EeePC that they demoed the 5 second boot and the BIOS takes a lot of time.)

ChromeOS does that from the moment you press the power button, that is very different.
