Microsoft Invents Split Screen PC
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!
The only thing more pathetic than a PC user is a PC user trying to be a Mac user. We have a name for you people: switcheurs.
There's a good reason for your vexation at the Mac's user interface: You don't speak its language. Remember that the Mac was designed by artists, for artists, be they poets, musicians, or avant-garde mathematicians. A shiny new Mac can introduce your frathouse hovel to a modicum of good taste, but it can't make Mac users out of dweebs and squares like you.
So don't force what doesn't come naturally. You'll be much happier if you stick to an OS that suits your personality. And you'll be doing the rest of us a favor, too; you leave Macs to Mac users, and we'll leave beige to you.
You know what you are? A shit faced cockmaster.
Especially if they're Indian. Pheeeeew!
Yes, but with only one set of mouse pointer and keyboard focus.
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.
