Phoenix Technologies relaunches HyperSpace instant-on OS: now tastier, widely available
Posted in: operating system, OperatingSystem, os, Today's Chili
Not that we’ve never seen this phenomenon before, but Phoenix Technologies’ HyperSpace embedded OS was forgotten just about as quickly as it was introduced. Here at CES — over a year since we first heard of the software — it’s being relaunched in very much official glory. Starting today, HyperSpace for Consumers can be downloaded directly onto any laptop in two flavors: Hybrid ($59.95 annually or $149.95 for three years) or Dual ($39.95 annually or $99.95 for three years). The former taps into the virtual technology in many Intel and AMD CPUs in order to let users toggle between systems; the latter forces you to stay in one or the other. Also of note, HyperSpace for Netbooks will begin shipping on pre-fab machines in just a few months, with Acer already signed on as a partner. The full release is after the break, and check out Laptop’s hands-on at the read link.
