Hyper OS is to a big steaming pile of ****???

[Pendragon]

For the last year or so Hyper OS have been putting 10 page adverts in PC mags here in the UK. Makes for some interesting reading, but dose anyone have any direct knowledge of using a Hyper OS system. Or are they talking cr*p...

Sounds more like a desktop manager.. ?

You'd think if it was that functional, there would be at least a few reviews floating around..the only ones i could find were written by the company itself

add up to 20 more copies of 95 OSR2, 98, Me, 2k and XP all on one hard disk

Why in hell would anyone want to do that?

I don't even want one copy of win95 anywhere near me..unfortunately I just got a pentium with 32 mb of simm edo that has 95 first edition on it to work on

Ita basically a overcomplicated boot manager with ghosting facilities and a much higher price and it only works with windows OS`s at the momment [95/98/ME/XP/2K].
You basically make loads of partitions install the OS of choice going from 95 to XP in the main partition,install Hyper OS,ghost a back up then copy it across to as many partitions as required repeating as you install different editions of Windows.
Different licences give you different amounts of OS`s to boot up and virtual OS in ram which allows early versions to run in total ram [not XP/2K].
The Hyper OS windows interface allows dragging and dropping of backups to different partitions as the need requires or as you corrupt them .
All applications are installed on one patition i.e. D and you make all Windows editions+ backups point to this directory for the apps to run.
I prefer VMWare lots easier,cheaper and it supports Linux [and Win3x if you`ve a mind].
