  BURBANK, CA, May 27 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
With boot up performance becoming a major purchase consideration for
consumers, and even enterprises evaluating new desktop, laptop and
netbook providers, Diskeeper Corporation today announced a major
technical breakthrough in the field of Instant On computing.

    Even with increasingly more powerful hardware, the time it takes to boot
Windows operating systems has increased. While Microsoft continues to make
improvements, many vendors have offered alternative solutions that allow
users to boot to alternate operating systems. But what if you could boot
up Windows in the same time it takes to boot an alternate system? The
pioneers of increasing computer performance have made the unimaginable
come true.

    Diskeeper Corporation is in the final production stages of a solution to
speed the boot process of Windows based operating systems. Extensive tests
performed on Windows XP utilizing different hardware from a variety of
manufacturers, shows significant boot-time improvements on every system
tested, including cases where the boot process completes over 10 seconds
faster. Tests on the Windows 7 Release Candidate demonstrated similar
results. Improvements from this new technology translate into as much as
20% faster boot-times.

    Manny Salinas, President of Diskeeper Corporation, noted that "we expect
to offer this solution to consumers and corporations alike, but a key
initiative is to make this technology available directly to computer
manufacturers."

    Director of Product Management, Michael Materie added that "this is far
more than a unilateral consumer technology, and has tremendous appeal to
the global Windows community." By offering near-immediate boot up,
corporations will be able to enforce green computing policies and cut
energy costs significantly without lost productivity. Materie concluded
that "workstations can now be powered off at night without incurring the
lost production the following business day as users power up the system
and then go get coffee."

    Diskeeper Corporation believes that the dramatic improvement in boot-times
will provide a high-demand product differentiation to system builders. EVP
of Business Strategy, Modesto Rodriguez, confirmed that "we expect to see
this technology shipping from OEMs in Q3 of this year as we already have
numerous household brand computer OEMs who have expressed significant
interest and are moving forward."
