Next gen version of boot camp?

You know how when your laptop goes to sleep, when you wake it you can start using it immediately?

I'm not very sure about this so i dont know, but wouldnt it be cool if when you restart into windows, osx would go to sleep as if you closed the lid of your laptop, or did it manually with an imac or whatever, then you'd go into windows instantly cause you did the same thing from windows to osx last time you used it, so theoretically you could go back and forth between os's instantly, cause just how when you put your computer to sleep, all youd be using is ram. Granted, im not sure how much ram is used when your comp goes to sleep, or exactly how it works, but wouldnt THAT be cool?

 

Leopard Boot Camp "fast switching" disappears

 

Cool idea. But it may be a little too intensive resource-wise. Maybe thats why apple took off the paragraph about the fast switching?

 

that would be awesome. hopefully someday!

 

It shouldn't be too intensive resource-wise. It would potentially use a lot of hard drive space, but the concept of boot camp pretty much covers that anyway. Too bad this wasn't implemented, that would be the thing that would make me buy leopard.

 

Interesting, I didn't know they had plans for that already.

 

it might be too ram intensive (keeping two OS's loaded). A lot of macs I've used have a gig or less of memory, which would struggle with 2 OS's simultaneously.

ya it wouldn't use any more Hard drive than bootcamp, unless the computer had to use virtual memory.

 

That would be a cool idea to implement in the next version of Boot Camp. But it would be time consuming to swap out up to 4 GB of memory (if its all used) from OSX to write to the HD then switch to Windows.
