Re: Faster Startup Idea

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I trust you know how often operating systems are patched. Given this, I'm
willing to bet that you would run out of that temporary memory where updates
are kept quite quickly. How much would this delivery method add to the
price of the OS? My guess would be that it would at least double the cost;
I don't know many people who would pay that premium for something that will
slightly improve performance. Also, I don't see how a memory being read
only allows it to not be copied...anyone with the proper hardware can copy
the data from the chip and burn it onto a new chip. Finally, the operating
system would still need to be installed as it has to setup up the proper
drivers for the rest of the hardware in the computer, thus negating that
benefit.

I really like I thought process though...it's creative thinking like yours
that lead to the technology of tomorrow...wow that sounded horribly sappy...

Peace out

Microsoft should consult with a hardware company about this idea.

When you buy a computer, their should be this little drive that you can
take
out (with proper covering and take-out procedures and safety features)
that
is a permanent memory. This permanent memory should be able to be accessed
quickly and holds the operating system's files. With this, the time it
takes
to load the operating system from the hard drive to the memory is taken
away.
To solve the problem of updates and enhancements, a file in the OS Memory
tells the computer to read the a file that contains all modifications that
the OS loads to an additional temporary memory on the same module where
the
OS Memory is located.


An additional feature of this system is bootlegging.
Since the files for the OS are on a permanent memory, they cannot be
copied
onto another memory module because the memory cannot be modified. This
idea
may seem confusing at first but trust me, it is opening a whole new
concept
of software. Also, it eliminates the proccess of installing the OS because
all that is needed to be done is to stick in the memory module and the
computer can boot up! Please consider this idea.
