Microsoft survey - WIll Instant On OS concept be part of Windows 7 (or Windows Vienna)?
In what might be a glimpse of things to come in Windows 7, Microsoft is asking customers whether they would be interested in a new ‘Instant-on’ version of Windows. ‘We would like your feedback on a new concept,‘ the Microsoft survey states.
This survey sent out to select users has us wondering what on Earth the mega-corp is planning to do next, and judging by the looks of things, it has everything to do with Instant On. We’ve seen a number of these lightning-fast boot applications, with the most recent being ASUS’ Splashtop OS and the iteration loaded onto Dell’s freshest Latitudes.
The survey makes mention that the “Instant On experience is different from ‘Full Windows’ because it limits what activities you can do and what applications you have access to.” The survey also asks about which applications would be most important to have quick access to, and it very plainly states that in this “scenario,” your PC would “be usable in eight seconds.” So, is Instant On coming to Windows?
Who knows, but it’s clear someone at Redmond is giving it some thought.
