Its not linux, this is 2 seperate real operating systems running side by side. Nothing you can do with any current hardware

But ye the linux multiseat is much cooler anyway :P

No, it's a technology which allows the CPU to handle multiple OSes at the same time.  Like running Windows and Linux natively at the same time (no, nothing like VMware).
By the way, apparently, the software which allows you use Virtualisation, the company decided to release it for free.  Forgot the name though.
The original idea behind virtualisation and multiple CPU cores is this: eventually, when you have like 8 cores, there can be multiple OSes installed specifically optimized to do certain tasks, eg a game OS (optimized for gaming) etc etc

There's a way around everything... :P

They use some tool to restore the PC to the same state each time it restarts or something.

Probably DeepFreeze.  Interestingly, there's an app which can unlock DeepFreeze - so I just use it, install some stuff, then re-enable DeepFreeze = get something onto the computer :P

Liquid Wrote:Arrgg... Zinga and I have the same processor -- AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+. Mine's a socket 939, not sure about his. It makes me angry that it wasn't until the AM2 socket that Virtualization Technology came to play. That would be the one thing that I would want the AM2 for. When I was building my rig, the reviews I read about the AM2 socket and DDR2 support said that the performance gains weren't enough to justify the price differential.

Mine's 939 as well.  I knew about the AM2's ability to use VT, also Intel's apparently revolutionary CPU.  Thing is, I really wanted a new computer (couldn't stand my 533MHz Celeron much longer) so I upgraded regardless of knowing that most of the components were going to be updated.  I did underestimate the Core 2 though.  I did presume it would beat AMDs CPUs, but not by that much...  The value of the 4200+ when I bought it was AU$600, after about 6 months, it dropped to AU$275.
Oh well...

Zigna knows a lot about PCs.

hey, that's how it goes :p
by the way my school and my old school also use some kind of read-only settings thing, in my old school i believe it was called JuztReboot
my new school idk, but sometimes it seems to not work :P maybe its just for user accounts cause installed programs stay

Not true, surprisingly. Read Zinga's post after yours.

now if someonce could run windows n windows at the same time one person could really fudge up the other s work
