I'd say it's time for a new one but i don't think that machine's ever handled hibernate too well, sometimes it'll just pretend it never hibernated and start from scratch.<br><br>back on topic, i believe voodoo laptops have something like this themselves, and someone already mentioned the ubuntu one. However, one feature i do like that i'd like to see how they handle is "let users toggle between systems". A Net (remember that old sandra bullock movie) style dual subsystem would be pretty sweet, especially if it both had access to each others data/resources. How they handle cross systems/installations/pc upgrades etc is a different matter]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[fraz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 6th 2009 7:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Phoenix Technologies relaunches HyperSpace instant-on OS: now tastier, widely available]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/phoenix-technologies-relaunches-hyperspace-instant-on-os-now-ta/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/phoenix-technologies-relaunches-hyperspace-instant-on-os-now-ta/</guid><description><![CDATA[@Labrador - fair enough if your laptop is your primary machine. Mine lives in a bag and only comes out occasionally, when I need to quickly find something out on the move. This isn't particularly regular - could be a few times a day, could be once a week.

I just watched a video on you tube of hyperspace vs Vista (the one with the indian guy) and i timed it from when he pressed the power button to when he had his web page on the screen at 40 Seconds.  I just booted my 17in core duo macbook pro 1st generation with SSD fitted, leopard 10.5.6 , it booted and got to a web page via wifi inside 35 seconds so it beat it by 5 seconds.   This isnt a macs are great post but more whats the point in instant on when its not instant on?  The other videos on youtube about hyper OS are really amateurish and show some scenarios that are worse than the early iphone adverts shown on TV using time lapse to speed things up.  Im not sold on this OS and it has a Flawed Business model.   Two thumbs down here.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mark Perrin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 6th 2009 8:35AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Phoenix Technologies relaunches HyperSpace instant-on OS: now tastier, widely available]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/phoenix-technologies-relaunches-hyperspace-instant-on-os-now-ta/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/phoenix-technologies-relaunches-hyperspace-instant-on-os-now-ta/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yup, just watched some vids on YouTube too, and I can agree that they are not professional or trustworthy at all... The guy with Windows Vista is waiting for Outlook to open for a full minute, while the HyperSpace guy is already running "everything he needs" - pure bullshit.<br><br>My HP DV5z goes from standby to the Windows desktop in 2-3 seconds when opening the lid, and combined with the PowerSaver power plan in Vista, it saves a considerable amount of battery power.<br><br>Besides, the price is just way too high, and the subscription method of payment just adds more crap to the overall disappointment.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bureX]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 6th 2009 9:23AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Phoenix Technologies relaunches HyperSpace instant-on OS: now tastier, widely available]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/phoenix-technologies-relaunches-hyperspace-instant-on-os-now-ta/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/phoenix-technologies-relaunches-hyperspace-instant-on-os-now-ta/</guid><description><![CDATA[My PC with Windows XP (desktop, not laptop, I know desktop hard disks are faster in general) takes 20 seconds from hard-off to fully booted in windows. It's "nothing special" new-ish hardware, but there's maybe $500 worth of parts in it. The "instant boot" is just part of the "PC 3.0" bologna. There are other, worthwhile aspects of the hyperspace product (security, maintenance, etc), but instant-boot is not one of them. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[J]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 6th 2009 9:13AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Phoenix Technologies relaunches HyperSpace instant-on OS: now tastier, widely available]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/phoenix-technologies-relaunches-hyperspace-instant-on-os-now-ta/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/phoenix-technologies-relaunches-hyperspace-instant-on-os-now-ta/</guid><description><![CDATA[That image is totally funky.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Arkenklo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 6th 2009 12:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Phoenix Technologies relaunches HyperSpace instant-on OS: now tastier, widely available]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/phoenix-technologies-relaunches-hyperspace-instant-on-os-now-ta/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/phoenix-technologies-relaunches-hyperspace-instant-on-os-now-ta/</guid><description><![CDATA[The statement "any laptop" is a bit hard to believe too, especially since the installer wouldn't even run on my laptop.
