Bypass Windows With Fast-Boot Technology

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the what-the-hell-does-this-even-mean dept.

thatnerdguy writes "Phoenix Technologies, a developer of BIOS software, is working on a new technology called Hyperspace that will allow you to instantly load certain applications like email, web browser and media player, without loading windows. It could even lead to tailoring of computers to even more specific demographics, like a student laptop preloaded with word processor, email and an IM all available at the press of a button." Why is this story setting off alarms in my brain?

    Why are alarm bells going off in your brain? Is it something about this story? Or maybe you just forgot an important appointment? Perhaps a telepathic reader can find out, since you're not telling.
