Do amazing things, with Fast App Switching, in C64 OS

Fast App Switching is a technology new in C64 OS version 1.05. It requires an 17xx-compatible REU (RAM Expansion Unit), but it opens the doors to some amazing and very speedy computer interactions.
Watch how quickly we can switch between open Applications. And we can even launch a game directly from App Launcher, and afterwards, fast boot back into C64 OS exactly where we left off. Fast App Switching is a game changer for the C64.

I wish this OS was part of the C64 rom when growing up. Amazing.

Today a REU (RAM Expansion Unit) is very affordable - or at least a compatible rebuild. Back in the day, those were really expansive. But back then, people would have used GEOS - which even ran without a REU to some extend. GEOS is a simple "Windows-like" OS, which featured a powerful word editor among other things. An essential difference is that C64OS uses Textmode, instead of Graphics-Mode. I guess, companies like Commodore struggled to market their actually not that bad solutions. Partly probably because people considered Commodores to be more of a toy.

Finally, a good use for my REU(s). Well done ...

How many modern computers with recent OS can switch apps as snappy as this … not many if any! Great work Sir!
