Las Vegas, NV, COMDEX FALL 2001 - V Communications, a leading developer and publisher of advanced software utilities, today announced shipment of its award winning System Commander 7, the safest and easiest way to add and manage new operating systems, without any performance degradation. System Commander 7 has been updated to include ActiveFS™ technology. This allows it to be installed to any Windows or DOS file system, including FAT/FAT32 and NTFS. System Commander 7 is the only OS Manager that can natively install directly into NTFS from Windows NT/2000 and XP. It also sports a polished new graphic boot time interface that is "skinnable" via custom skins available from VCOM's website. System Commander 7 was specifically designed to work with Windows XP, and it includes a complete version of VCOM's award winning Partition Commander 6.0. Partition Commander 6.0, the most powerful partitioning tool available, is completely integrated into System Commander 7 and can be activated from the included self-booting floppy and CD.

System Commander 7 is the latest release of the popular System Commander product, which has sold over 1,000,000 copies worldwide. "Every time you want to upgrade your operating system, you are faced with the risk of conflicts, which are not apparent until you are already into the process," noted Jeffrey W. Hyman, vice president of marketing for V Communications. "With System Commander 7, you can upgrade to virtually any version of Windows and know that if there are any problems you can safely and easily return to your previous OS," concluded Hyman. System Commander 7 supports all PC compatible operating systems, uses no resident memory, requires only 5MB of hard drive space (18MB when installed to NTFS) and converts partitions between FAT and FAT 32 and from NTFS to FAT, including compressed NTFS volumes.

System Commander 7 includes full partitioning, the ability to safely create, resize, move, copy and convert partitions. The product also includes the patent pending OS Wizardä, the exclusive BackStepä Wizard, expanded OS Wizard functionality for Linux users, super hiding of NTFS partitions so that you can easily have multiple versions of Windows NT/2000 and XP on your system and many more features, making it the most powerful operating system manager on the market.
