I'd LOVE to use this product. I'll be watching avidly for a release that supports 64-bit vista.
Not to be overly critical, I realize 64-bit isn't a priority for a startup, but why wouldn't it be supported? Is there really that much of a difference for an application?
Doesn't support 64-bit windows? I'd LOVE to use this product. I'll be watching avidly for a release that supports 64-bit vista. Not to be overly critical, I realize 64-bit isn't a priority for a startup, but why wouldn't it be supported? Is there really that much of a difference for an application?
I have to salute the Baseshields for their imagination. Originally the virtualization sw was going to be the product. Might still be. But then they realized that, having built it, they could basically take over the delivery of software on Windows. I was blown away when Patrick came by YC to give me a demo. I thought I was going to be seeing a demo of virtualization sw, which, frankly, is not that interesting, and ins…

For example, I like to set up custom keyboard shortcuts in my text editor, but every time I set up a new computer I have to reconfigure all of those settings. That shouldn't be necessary. BTW I feel like the TC article didn't communicate the key point…
I've moved the entire home directory between installs of different versions of linux distributions and between entirely different distributions with only minor issues (related mostly to an old format of a config file not being recognized by the newer application). I've had the same .opera directory for years.
Running applications in their own VM is a good idea for security. It's a good idea to work around system and file management deficiencies in the operating system and the application itself also.
