It's there on my laptop.
Basically it allows you to boot up to a custom OS within 5 seconds.
It has the following options:
- Web browser (custom version of Firefox)
- Music player
- Online games
- IM client (Pidgin)
- Skype
You can use photos/music off the HDD or a USB drive

I can't take screen shots because there is no screen capture utility and anyways it doesn't let you save files while in Express Gate.

I had it at first. Good to see if there is any virus in USB. But I now have RAID. ExpressGate doesn't support RAID. It also slows down booting by waiting for your response. If you have a very sensitive mouse which might move due to vibrations. Its even worse.
