Microsoft Invents Split Screen PC

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the let-me-have-less-please dept.

An anonymous reader writes "New technology from Microsoft Research India in Bangalore could end the waiting game in offices with limited computers. Researchers are developing software that splits a computer screen in two halves, each side with its own operating system, desktop, applications, cursor and keyboard." Mom! Timmy is on my side of the screen again!

    yea, it's designed to take those 'bright minds' off the market so they don't do any more damage to the Microsoft monopoly. IIRC, this 'technique' of preserving Microsofts power in the market was mentioned in the infamous "MS Halloween Document" or some other leaked MS memo.
