I guess this is the ultimate computer to run Windows. Not only can it run Windows without actually being on, quite possibly the best way to run Windows, I theorize this computer would be able to take advantage of the the quantum superposition state and run Windows in a crashed and uncrashed state simultaneously. It would be as if Schrödinger's cat had a stroke...
But will Vista support it?
New Scientist said:Even for the crazy world of quantum mechanics, this one is twisted. A quantum computer program has produced an answer without actually running.
The idea behind the feat, first proposed in 1998, is to put a quantum computer into a “superposition”, a state in which it is both running and not running. It is as if you asked Schrödinger's cat to hit "Run".
