Encapsulation is nothing new. The guy just got a patent on his method. It will work, but has limitations. They have been discussed on other threads. Perhaps someone else can find the link.

"QIPP. is a PATENTED (# 5,852,824) METHODOLOGY and TRADE SECRET that will keep a computer system's applications functioning somewhat normally through the first part of the 21st century."

Somewhat normally? I think deJager has finally flipped.

This Y2K silver bullet fixes everything! It says so in the article. Not only will it fix your computer problem but it will get out that nasty chili stain on your tie. Wow, it really is a miracle!!
