Phoenix Technologies has announced that it will soon launch a feature called HyperSpace, exclusively for laptop makers.

According to Woody Hobbs, the first application of the technology could reach consumers right next summer, in the form of a laptop that can view DVDs outside Windows.

Users will be able to directly activate the DVD player in a matter of seconds, skip the long Windows boot step, or jump from Windows to DVD playback. Meanwhile, Windows (if still running) will be automatically converted to sleep state to save battery.

In fact, the market has also sold some types of laptops that the player is separate from Windows. However, in these cases, the player cannot run in parallel with Windows - that is, you must activate the player, then turn it off, then restart Windows in case you want to switch from one feature to another. other function.
