Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Woody Hobbs, President & CEO of Phoenix Technologies, said that: "For most of us, today's computing experience is a lot like air travel -- offering tremendous possibilities, but plagued with security issues, delays and system failures”.
Hobbs continued that: “HyperSpace introduces a new framework to transform the personal computing experience through purpose-driven appliances that work within the HyperSpace environment. Working together with our partners within the PC ecosystem, we believe HyperSpace will ignite a new revolution of innovation built on the foundation of embedded simplicity.”
HyperSpace is optimized to work with Intel and AMD Virtualization technology, meaning notebook and desktop vendors can start designing HyperSpace technology into their systems immediately.
Gregory Bryant, Vice President and General Manager for Intel's Digital Office Platform Division, said that: "Intel Cor 2 Duo processors and Intel vPro processor technology enable the development of more secure and better performing virtualization infrastructure. Intel is pleased to see Phoenix embracing Intel's technologies to deliver innovative products for PC clients."
Emile Ianni, Corporate Vice President, Platform Solutions Engineering, AMD said that: "By taking full advantage of AMD's advanced graphics and virtualization performance innovations, HyperSpace promises to deliver an optimal virtualized computing experience that delivers the true performance, security and graphics potential that is possible from AMD technology."
So, now that computers can boot up and start running applications immediately, bringing us more into the ‘instant-on’ world enjoyed by appliances such as television sets, toasters and microwave ovens, the commoditization of computers rushes ever faster towards faster operation, ever lower prices and greater ‘appliance’ like reliability.
But for all these advances, we’ll still have to wait at least 30 seconds, if not longer, for Windows to boot up, as the world waits for Microsoft to catch up with the capabilities of the hardware and give us a version of Windows that likewise operates at… HyperSpace speed!
