NEWS FLASH – POWER POS NOW Runs in 64Bit Windows!!!!

Unbelievable but true.

PowerPOS will NEVER go obsolete because of Windows 64 bit architecture!

The truth is that Microsoft is phasing out DOS and its “NTVDM” (New Technology Virtual DOS Machine), and it will also retire the 32 bit architecture in the next 5-10 years. In fact, Intel, has recently stated that it will no longer be making 32bit drivers for their next crop of new processors.  So the idea that 32bit will continue on into the future is clouded by the possibility of obsolescence.

The answer is HERE!  We now have a Virtual DOS Emulator that we can install for you that works in ANY windows version, either 32Bit or 64Bit.  It is called PowerDOS.

We NOW can include PowerDOS along with Power POS to allow it to run in ANY windows version.

These are the features and how they would compare with a Virtual Machine installed on Win 64.
