Fellow System Lords,

The world is upside down. Why is it that if a man has a massive gash to his head and a tiny pin prick to his thumb, we all concentrate on fixing his thumb and pretend that nothing is wrong with his head?

It is the same in computing as it is in politics and economics and I suspect in all of our endeavours. We do not seem able properly to prioritize.

Let me give it you in computational terms first then move on to economics which could not be more relevant to all business endeavours right now and so gives me a good excuse to attempt to right the world in an IT newsletter!

Intel want you to throw away your 1.8 GHz Celeron or your Pentium4 processor or even your Dual Core with 2MB of dumb level0 cache and invest £850 in a Core I7 956XE Extreme 3.2GHz 8MB Level3 smart cache, Quad core, CPU, with enhanced speed step, HyperThreading, and hardware virtualization technology - not to mention the added liposomes and the extra absorbent wings for that all day long feeling of confidence.

AMD want you to throw away your Athlon 64 and invest £195 in an AMD PhenomII X4 940 3GHz with 6MB Level3 cache.

Memory companies want you to stop using your retarded and obsolete 800MHz PC6400 DDR2 system RAM and get with it by deploying the all new 1333MHz DDR3 which is PC10664.

In plain english they want your CPU to talk to your memory not at 6400 MB per second but at 10GB per second. And rather than processing the results of that conversation at 2GHz, they want to process them at 12GHz, by employing 4 cores each going at 3GHz. And it sounds like a great idea if you want to fix the tiny cut on your thumb even faster whilst ignoring the great big gash on your head even longer.

But what no PC magazine funded by advertising revenues from these giants will tell you is that your Hard Disk goes round and round at between 120Hz and 250Hz, not MegaHertz, but Hertz. And it talks to your CPU at a maximum rate of 80 MB per second. Not 800, not 8000, but 80 MB per second.

Furthermore, due to its having a very slow librarian who takes at least 8 milliseconds to find any file, it actually performs at between 10MB per second and 40 MB per second in real world everyday usage.

So tell me what is the point in increasing your CPU conversations with RAM from a blistering 6400 MB/s to a uberblistering 10664MB/s when it is conversing with your HDD at a stilted 10-40MB/s??

You have the equivalent of a Pink Floyd Stage amplifier running through a British Rail Platform speaker.

The one exception to the above argument is the case where you have so much system RAM that you do not need to hit the HDD very much. That can be true with MACs. But it cannot be true with Windows, since XP only works properly with 2GB of system RAM and since Vista, although it can take 4GB (Vista32) and 8GB (Vista64), does not properly support even 4GB of DDR in the system arena.

Enter the HyperDrive5 (£274 $399) and the new HyperDrive5M (£189 $269). So for £189 $269 we will deliver (7-10 days to get it from Taiwain to our distribution centres in Dusseldorf Germany and Engelwood, New Jersey, then 2 days to get it to you) you a HyperDrive containing another 6 or 8DIMM slots.

This will give you 12/24/48GB more RAM space for £189 Plus DDR (around £100 from cheap suppliers for 12GB £112.95 from us).

So for £300 $450 all in, you effectvely get another 12GB of DDR in the form of a SATA2 Hard Disk. This will speed up the conversation between your Disk and your CPU to around 160 MB per second all the time. The HD5 has a really really fast librarian which finds 800 files in the time your HDD finds one file.

So I suppose one could cynically say that the HyperDrive5 gives MAC or Linux performance to a Windows PC. In the sense that the MAC OSes or Linux OSes can take 32GB of system RAM without screwing up. But being kinder to the way more popular and much cheaper PC, the HyperDrive5 makes your PC 500% faster than it would be with a Wester Digital Raptor (the world's fastest Hard Disk) with XP and 600% faster with Vista/Windows7. The performance differential with Vista/Windows7 is greater because those OSes have 50,000 little files whereas XP only has 10,000, so librarian speed is more of a factor with the larger operating systems.

A HyperDrive5 will clone XP on FAT32 500% faster than a raptor and will clone Windows7 on NTFS 600% faster than a Raptor.

You will get the same performance advantages with Photoshop scratch disks etc.

Obviously tackling the 10-40 MB per second bottleneck of your HDD CPU converstation and raising it to 160MB per second is more important than upping the 6400 MB/s DDR CPU conversation to 10664 MB per second.

So really for £300 we can make your PC 500-600% faster. It will be more or less instant for most operations. The HyperDrive should therefore be the first performance improvement any user makes.

Hopefully that has turned the PC world the right way up again!

Now on to the world of economics...

Lets us picture our ecomony as a motor car. We are in a recession, so the car is going up a hill. It is a bad recession so the hill is very steep and actually we are starting to roll down the hill backwards. The engine of this car is the private sector. The bodywork, the comfort of the car is the public sector. So how do we get the car up the hill? Do we shed a million jobs in the private sector making the engine 10% smaller whilst giving 6% salary rises to public sector council workers and shedding none of them, making the bodywork ever more luxurious?

How will that get us up the hill? Plainly what is needed is to shed a million jobs from the public sector and redeploy those people in the private sector. We need a larger engine and less weight in our bodywork to get up the steep hill of this depression.

But of course, the world is upside down again. It does not matter how comfortable the seating in the car is when it is rolling backwards down a hill at an accelerating pace! The only thing that matters is that the engine gets more power and stops the slide.

Again it is about prioritizing. It is about ignoring the drop of blood from the cut on our thumb and focussing all our attention on stopping the river flowing from the gash on our head. It is about tackling the primary tumor before moving to the secondary one.

Then we have the banks. There is a whole newsletter in itself! They could not be more important to business, to the IT business and to all business. And I think we all realise it. They have failed us. But all our banks are sheep to their shepherds, the FSA, the Bank of England and the Treasury, in the UK, the SEC, the Federal Reserve and the Treasury dept in the US. When the sheep go astray one does not blame the sheep, one blames the shepherd. Our financial regulators have totally failed us and of course not one of them has lost his Job (other than Bush43 who had to lose it constitutionally and Hank Paulson I think - what pay off did he get for triggering the destruction of the financial system??)

Now if these regulators and central bankers are all still employed in circumstances where they have presided over the total destruction of our financial system then we see what their job description truly is. They are the referees without a whistle. True parasites. They have never done their job before and they are not doing it now and they never will do it. I mean how many Air Traffic Controllers would keep their jobs if every aircraft in their airspace crashed? Oh they are in the private sector - silly question!

Worst of all we have the politicians. They have pretty much spent every penny we and our children will ever earn in a vain attempt to save the banks from their self induced collapse hoping that these institutions, which are guilty of financial genocide, will then save the economies they have murdered by lending some of the money back to us. How daft is that? Let's give the antidote to the poisoner shall we? Banks are institutionally selfish by charter. They are not going to help us. They are going to help themselves. They are going to help themselves to all of our money. In fact that is what they have already done!

This really is the end of the line in failing to hold people to account. We have Mugabeism all over the financial system. There was and is a choice between saving economies and saving banks. The wrong choice has been made and is still being made.

The gaping wounds of falling house prices and falling corporate and comsumer credit are left untouched, whilst banks are given billions. This is another case of treating the secondary tumour whilst ignoring the primary tumour which caused the secondary tumour. How can governments possibly rely on banks to solve a crisis they themselves have created? If you want to fix these problems you do not ask the banks to fix them. You fix them yourself.

Guarantee bank deposits, stop all repossessions, support house prices, set up a new bank with a charter to do the lending that must be done and that existing banks refuse to do. Fund that bank and stop funding the failures. Fix the problem directly. Do not fix an easier problem and hope that as a result the difficult problem will fix itself! The trickle down theory of giving money to the rich and hoping that somehow it will help to poor has long ago been discredited. Giving money to the rich helps the rich. Giving money to the poor is what helps the poor.

Likewise giving/lending money to the banks will not trickle down to help homeowners or businesses. Giving/lending money to homeowners and businesses directly is what helps them.

Sorry to go on. But the same pattern is all around us. We all tackle the easy problem to get a feelgood factor in the vain hope that it will somehow solve the more difficult one, and it will not. It may satisfy our egos and enable us to pose as great problem solvers of our time (even as saviours of the world!) but it will not fix the more difficult problem. Tackle the hard problem directly and then you get somewhere.

Likewise with PC performance. Fix the main data bottleneck, the HDD bottleneck with a HyperDrive and do not worry about the secondary issue of faster processors or faster system RAM. In fact a Celeron with a HyperDrive will outperform a Quad hyperthreaded I7 with a Raptor I am sure (fun one to try).

Have a look at the all consumer £189 $269 HyperDrive5M and lets get at least one of our priorities correct!

Likewise if you want to get the best and most reliable performance from the hardware you already have, then upgrade to HyperOs 2009SE Geek or SuperGeek and spread the load between several Windows systems. Keep a functioning copy of your mission critical system ready to deploy if things go wrong. This serves as a backup of your data and of your OS and applications. And have a spare system to try out new applications within such as Sun Microsystems free Open Office - very good but not in the same system as Microsoft Office. Whatever you do get a copy of Firefox3, way better than any version of Internet Explorer, naturally virus proof and only 7MB.

All the best in the rough times ahead

Fellow System Lords,

Windows7 is cute. I have to say it. The graphics department of Microsoft (which is almost indistinguishable from the graphics department of Apple) is really good. If presentation were everything, then Microsoft would have cracked it. And in this visual media driven world, presentation is almost everything. But there is more to a product than the box it comes in as the bishop said to the actress.

I mean it is nice to see Microsoft getting something right. Their bodywork is really good looking. All they need now is an engine transplant. I have suggested this to them. A total rewrite from scratch, all 64 bit, assuming the internet, including the BIOS etc, no spaghetti, no legacy. In fact they need to do with Windows what the governments will shortly have to do the banking system - start from scratch. And going deeper still we need to do to the governments and the public sector what they are going to have to do to the banks.

We did actually try at one point to write HyperOs again from scratch. But we gave up because it was too time consuming and expensive. But for Microsoft the cost would be incidental. If I had my life over I would write a small compact self learning OS that was almost like a virus and could go into any PC and write itself according to some objectives. That being what a human spirit is. A self writing operating system which sets its own objectives in the particular hardware it finds itself in - the human body - Adam series.

The good or bad news is that Windows7 is not much different from Vista it seems to us. Now that is bad news because Vista was slow and large and bureaucratic, rather like the EU which fined them for abusing their europe wide commercial monopoly and then kept the fine abusing their europe wide political monopoly. HyperOs is still waiting for its share of that fine. If any of our customers are MEPs please make your fine share cheque payable to 'HyperOs Systems Ltd'. I mean I am the one who spent a year of his life unspiking Windows ME. Has any MEP done that? (I hope not for their sake!)

But it is good news in that Windows7 really is VistaSE, so there is no great need to wait for Windows7 to prove itself, since the engine has not changed much from Vista. Apparently it is faster and it is certainly no larger than Vista. We have yet to test it on a HyperDrive and examine its perfomance. Stay tuned for those results.

Hardware is going to get more expensive due to the falling production volumes from the credit crunch, so keeping software clean and uncluttered is moreso the way to ensure good performance economically. I mean we may see a reversal in Moore's law due to the credit crunch as production volumes get less so margins need to go up, in order that people stay in business. It would be ironic if such a thing was accompanied by a reversal in Ritche's law which says that during any period in which hardware performance doubles, Windows performance halves.

So to run 2K, XP32, XP64, Vista32, Vista64, Windows7(32), windows7(64), 2003Server and 2008Server all on the same PC, get HyperOs 2009SE Geek or SuperGeek.

For the avoidance of doubt, the xPCs-in-1 range, which has not yet been updated to Windows7, will run several copies of the same OS in one partition only. Geek will run up to 10 copies of any of the above Windows versions in one partition (your first Windows partition) and one copy of any the above versions in up to 10 more partitions. SuperGeek will run any number of any or all of the above versions in any or all of the 24 partitions that the alphabet can enumerate.

There are 17 bug fixes and feature additions between HyperOs 2009 and HyperOs 2009SE. I will not bore you with the technical detail save to say that we only have one customer with an outstanding bug right now and that will be fixed in 2009SE.

We have introduced a new download mechanism. It enables you to download one copy now and another copy later on. This is a good way for you to ensure that when we fix the inevitable new bugs that will be found in the future, you can get the fixed version. It also stops people downloading the product 750x which did occur in one case. However if you actually suffer from a bug we will either fix it or upgrade you of course.

The £ upgrade price from 2009 to 2009SE Geek is £19.95 and to 2009SE SuperGeek is £24.95.
The £ upgrade price from 2008 to 2009SE Geek is £39 and to 2009SE SuperGeek is £49.
The £ outright purchase price for 2009SE Geek is £59 and for 2009SE SuperGeek is £69.

The $ upgrade price from 2009 to 2009SE Geek is $29.95 and to 2009SE SuperGeek is $37.50.
The $ upgrade price from 2008 to 2009SE Geek is $59 and to 2009SE SuperGeek is $73.50.
The $ outright purchase price for 2009SE Geek is $89 and for 2009SE SuperGeek is $104.

Buy now!

Everyone can of course buy additional SE Geek licences at the upgrade price of £19.95 and additional SE SuperGeek licences for £24.95 (since an additional licence is an upgrade actually from 2009SE - effectively).

At customer request we are going to do some recommended HyperOs and HyperDrive hardware configurations on the website shortly, stay tuned for those.

May the finance be with you!

Dear Hyper Performers,

We have just started doing special offer on the combination of a HyperDrive5 and HyperOs 2009 SuperGeek, because they go so well together.

Together they give you several small lean fast Windows systems any one of which can quickly be cloned to and run on the HyperDrive5 at mainframe speeds. Without them you have one overloaded fat slow and wobbly Windows.

This is how to combine them...

Install HyperOs 2009 in your main Windows system.
Connect the HyperDrive5 to a SATA2 port.
Format it as NTFS (instantly).
Clone a Windows system to the HD5 (make sure it fits).
Double click the icon of the clone in My Other Computers.

Then the PC will reboot and fire up the clone on the HyperDrive5. Now you are running Windows entirely in RAM without any mechanical latency.

We are now offering the combination for £299 and you will need to buy 16GB of KVR800D2N6/2G or equivalent (8x 2GB DIMMS). We can do that for £149.95. Or if you scour the web for bargain RAM you can do better still. So for less than £450 you get mainframe performance, an instant desktop, instant application loading etc etc.

Buy now in the UK, before the pound collapses! Buy now in the US, before the banking system collapses the rest of the economy!

Microsoft Server 2008 can offer you HyperV, which creates a virtual hardware environment which enables one operating system to run on loads of different computers rather slowly with massive software and resource and intellectual overheads. We can offer you HyperOs and the HyperDrive5 which have an intellectual overhead manageable by QVC customers, and enable one computer to run loads of operating systems on 100% of your hardware resources, turbo charged massively by the HyperDrive5.

HyperOs by serially virtualizing software, protects against software disasters. Microsoft HyperV by real time virtualizing hardware, protects against hardware disasters. The former are way more common than the latter.

However there were 3 bugs even in the lastest versions of HyperOs 2009 that we have now fixed. Thanks to two of our customers (Dave and Stan) for working with us on these!

1. The backup locations folder (tools, options, backup locations) was referred to by drive letter which is pointless when we keep swapping them all around. So now it is referred to by partition number. In that way all your backups actually go where you choose.

2&3. There were two bugs that prevented HyperOs swapping into a cloned system within the same drive letter in certain circumstances. This meant that you kept bouncing back to the original system when trying to swap into the folder clone. These have both been fixed.

These 3 were fairly important, so we will be sending links to all customers who have purchased HyperOs 2009 Geek or SuperGeek or any of the 10PCs-in-1 range in the next couple of days. This time you do not have to contact us. We will just email you the link. If you do not get a link by the middle of next week then please let us know. So if you have not upgraded yet, this would be the time to do it!

Both HyperOs and the HyperDrive are things which have to be seen to be believed. Once you have surfed the net on a HyperDrive, you will not want to surf it using a hard disk again. Once you have run windows on a HyperDrive, you will not want to return to the treacle.

The HyperDrive5 does go a long way to nullifying Ritchie's law, which says that every 18-24 months the speed of Windows halves thereby precisely cancelling out the advantage that Moore's law had given to hardware in that period.

The HyperDrive5 is a 64GB device. So if you have deep pockets you can get 8x 4GB DDR2 sticks now from us for £640. But if not then in a few months time, when 4GB sticks become cheaper, you can upgrade. Similarly in 12 months time 8GB sticks will start to become consumer priced. So at that time you can upgrade to 64GB. Remember the only Mobo consideration is a fast SATA2 port. So if you are buying a new machine just make sure the MOBO has the latest intel ICH10 SATA2 controllers or the latest AMD SATA2 controllers.

Or keep the PC you have, add HyperOs and the HyperDrive5 and get performance better than any other PC on the market runing on any number of RAID Hard Disks.

Regards and best wishes

My Fellow HyperDrivers,

10 years ago I had a dream. I had a dream that is deeply rooted in the folklore of the personal computer. I had a dream that one day my PC would be judged not on the mechanical latency of its data storage device but rather on the raw power of its processing capability. Yes indeed, I had a dream.

I had a dream that one day, from the silicon valleys of California to the silicon glens of Inverclyde, from the software houses of the West to the Hardware houses of the East, I would hear nothing at all as the humble PC began to fulfil the destiny that its founding fathers had envisioned on a Solid State Disk.

A day when every command was instantly obeyed and without enhanced interrogation techniques from a plethora of dialogue boxes. Yes a day when every PC could live out the true meaning of its ethos: To respond to a command more quickly than I was able to type the next one. To be a GigaHertz brain in an age of inspirational enlightenment, rather than a KiloHertz drain in an age of computational darkness.

Well, as one might expect with european manufacturing, and the enormous public sector overheads in the West, that dream turned into a nightmare with the HyperDrive4. A wonderful piece of technology. The fastest internal Disk ever. Way faster than any NAND flash device and over a hundred times faster than the WD Raptor. It was indeed a valiant effort by a small band of decidated Ukrainian Dutch and British engineers and financiers. But for all our technological prowess, we were never able to get it to the price where conusmer electronics takes off. And once we were able to produce it in volume reasonably cheaply, DDR1 effectively became obsolete, being replaced by DDR2, and so the price of the populated unit became prohibitive.

Then, as in all the best Spielberg movies, just when we were about to let go of that dream, just when our fingers were losing their grip on the cliff face, along came the Taiwanese!

An ASIC based DDR2 SATA2 HyperDrive at $399! The dream had become a reality. The promised land was once again in sight.

So now with East and West both on the same page, working together, we can offer you a 64GB SATA2 DDR2 HyperDrive5 for £269 or $399.

Who cares about patents? We demonstrated the concept. We sold it, admittedly mainly to governments, huge corporations, militaries and spy agencies. We proved it was the fastest possible method of Data storage. And now thanks to the vision of both East and West it can be afforded by anyone who wants to live the dream.

An instant computer for £269 (if you use a fast Linux or MacOs).
A very fast computer for £269 if you use XP
A fast computer for £269 if you use Vista

The HD5 is way too fast for Vista, and actually too fast for XP as well. But with Linux and MacOs well, who says dreams cannot come true?

So for a little more time to enjoy every day... www.hyperossystems.co.uk

Dear Hyperhumans,

We have finished the consumer proof HyperOs 10PCs-in-1. This version does not require any partitioning. It performs live clones of Windows XP or Vista or Server 2003/2008 all within the same partition and then runs the clones and switches back and forth through the My Other Computers GUI which is vastly simplifed.

For multiple windows systems on one drive letter this is the thing. It is easy for novices and has less to go wrong for experts.

We have also improved 2009Geek and 2009SuperGeek once more. There was a bug which could lead to 'unable to load user profile, default profile loaded' which gives a boring desktop. This was caused by HyperOs being unable to move one of the windows folders and failing to recognize that. We have now fixed that bug and in addition put in a rollback so that if some other windows peculiarity causes a system to be partially moved, we return it to the status quo ante rather than leaving you in limbo. There is no need to update unless you have seen this error. With Windows software the old adage "if it ain't broke don't fix it" applies.

But if any one with 2009Geek or 2009SuperGeek wants the latest version just email us with your date of purchase and we will send you the new link.

Dear Hypernatives,

We have recently improved and debugged 2009 Geek and SuperGeek signficantly. The new builds are available on the old links to all who have purchased them. We increased the system drives that show up in My Other Computers in SuperGeek to 24 (about time). So we are now truly limited only by our forefathers who invented the 26 letter english alphabet. Well actually no, not by them, but by Microsoft who proved themselves incapable of transcending it.

1. We fixed a backup bug which appeared when backups were split into several parts by Winrar.
2. We now identify your boot drive by the proper method of locating the MBR rather than looking for boot files. We also code to run HyperOs from the correct MBR if there is more than one of them.
3. Fixed a BCD fail error.
4. Enabled 64 bit systems to be copied from C (that was blocked for some legacy reason)
5. Fixed Old Buzzard's problem (cannot switch to a system on a newly installed drive) - we make or if necessary remake the maintenance system from the Windows system you are in which will actually know about the new drive (rather than picking the smallest system - which we used to do before).

There are a couple of others which I cannot remember.

So all of you who held back from the first release due to your having both wisdom and patience, can now reward these unusual qualities by purchasing the new revisions! Buy now before your bank account is nationalized!

Dear HyperGeeks!

We have finally managed to run several copies of Windows all from the same partition. So you can now put any number of copies of Windows in just one partition and run HyperOs without repartitioning your hard disk.

This is really useful if you have a few large partitions. It is also useful for newcomers who may not want to risk partitioning their disk in order to taste the delights of HyperOs. On that subject I recently got the Heur virus which causes all exe files not to open. A very funny virus! You cannot even open the AntiVirus application to get rid of it! I fixed it by swapping to another system and downloading the latest AVG update into that system and killing the virus in the infected system from the uninfected system. I couldn't do anything in the infected system of course! Viruses these days do not jump systems. They are written for PC with one copy of Windows running. So HyperOs is a very good form of security against virus attack. I could not have fixed that attack without HyperOs.

Of course we at HyperOs Systems (both of us) would not dream of scaring you into buying our product using the threat of IT warfare. But when Russia tries its next Denial of Service attack on some poor little ex Eastern block country (using its computational peacekeepers) do not let your PC be used as a Zombie to send millions of pointless requests to servers in that country. If you use HyperOs and continually swap systems, you are far less likely to be used as a Zombie. Swap systems for Georgia!

The new 2009Geek enables you to have up to 10 copies of Windows in your boot partition and up to 10 other copies of Windows one per partition in 10 other partitions.

The new 2009SuperGeek enables you to have any number of copies of Windows in all of 24 possible partitions. So you can now have a million copies Windows if your Hard disk is big enough! This really means that if everyone in the world installed HyperOs 2009SuperGeek, the number of operating system available to mankind would be almost infinite and we would create an IT boom that would get us out of the worldwide recession we are in!

Alternatively if you wouldn't mind emailing the Chancellor and asking him to set up a housing association which rents all of the repossessed houses still on the market and of all the houses that will be repossessed in the next two years (around 100,000 units in all) we could fix this thing tomorrow. It would cost the government around £1 billion per year. And if they left the defaulting mortgagors in those houses paying what they could rather than ruining their lives, it would cost us all a lot less. Then the property depression would end, the day he implemented that solution.

Because the reason that all property recessions in the UK last for 5 years is that banks repossess us into a 5 year depression. They attempt to market their repossessions at a rate which a depressed market cannot cope with and so a massive repo backlog builds up and then the recession has to continue until the repo backlog is cleared - which is 4-5 years after it starts. Remove the repos from the market and the thing would be all but over the minute that came into force. Then you release the repos in the upmarket that follows to stop the property market overheating again. Banks and defaulting mortgagors would do better as well in that circumstance.

But we all know the governments do not solve problems, that profit from them. Problems R Us is their business model.

But I digress. Back in the world of IT we all know Moore's law, which says that...

Hardware doubles in performance every 18 months.

And now in yet another worldwide exclusive, the mathematical hyperboffins at HyperOs Systems after years and years of sophisticated analytical calculations are proud to announce the sequel to Moore's law. It is called Ritchie's law. And it says that...

Windows halves in performance every 18 months.

So yes, the result is, that after a generation of spectacular hardware improvement, we are right back in the 1980s as regards real world performance. Thanks Bill! Hey Bill - How about showing some charity to the software industry which you have destroyed? Sell Microsoft to Yahoo!

Of course that Yahoo should definitely have sold out to Microsoft from a financial standpoint. No question about that. But they chose not to because they did not want Microsoft to do to the internet what they have done to the PC. Rare for a big company to take a moral position in today's world.

So if you have a rather large partition and would like to do something useful with it, get HyperOs 2009Geek or 2009SuperGeek and stick a few more Windows systems in it for a rainy day! Then the next disaster which befalls your primary Windows system will affect that system but will not affect you.

All you people who use Vista, remember that the more complicated the plumbing, the easier it is to gum up the works (Scotty - Star Trek V). You need HyperOs more than people who use XP. And if you use Vista64 then you need it all the more.

HyperOs can actually run XP and Vista32 and Vista64 from the same partition. But Microsoft will not permit you to install them all in the same partition. However you can install them in different partitions and then clone them all into one partition with HyperOs 2009 if you like.

HyperOs 2009 has no trouble with live clones (cloning the system that is running). We reboot and go into the NT system underneath Windows to clone the files we could not get whilst in windows.

We have recently fixed all our email addresses so we now have @hyperossysystems.co.uk @hyperossystems.com and @hyperos.net.

HyperOs Systems Secure Certificate recently been renewed.

Thanks for your business over the years. This time we really have reached all of our design objectives with HyperOs!
