It’s been a while, though we haven’t really noticed. The EasyBCD 1.5x line has worked loyally and without complaint for the past 7 months, and it’s time to put it to rest. It’s hard to believe it’s been almost 8 months now since EasyBCD 1.5 went gold in October of 2006 – and since then its popularity has just soared beyond all expectations.\n<\/p>\n
Today we’re proud to announce the availability of EasyBCD 1.6<\/a> to the general public. It’s been a rough, long road developing the 1.6 line, but we hope you’ll find it worth the wait. With 1 million+ EasyBCD users strong, we’ve learned a thing or two about compatibility and standards – or rather shall we say the lack<\/em> of them. What worked for 98% of EasyBCD users didn’t work for the remaining two percent, and NeoSmart Technologies doesn’t accept anything less than perfection – that’s why EasyBCD 1.6 goes the extra mile.\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n With EasyBCD 1.6, we’ve rewritten Linux\/BSD support<\/a> yet again<\/em> (for the 3rd time if you’re keeping record), this time with a treble redundancy system<\/strong> intended to – hopefully – serve 100% of the world’s dual-booters without pain, hitch, or effort. Yes, we really are that serious about our users. On that same front, we’ve built in diagnostic failsafes for OS X and Windows support. Now users that find their systems unable to boot into OS X<\/a> (HFS+ Partition Error anyone?) or Windows<\/a> (corrupted BCD, overwritten MBR, missing bootfiles, the list goes on and on!) have one-click recovery options in the Diagnostics Center<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n The official changelog<\/a> is miles long and has more detail than even we care to look into, but here are some of the new features we’re especially excited about:\n<\/p>\n The list goes on and on, but you don’t have to sit here and read – go and grab the latest version of EasyBCD now!\n<\/p>\n Download EasyBCD 1.6<\/a>!!!<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n [screenshots<\/a>] [changelog<\/a>] [support<\/a>] [documentation<\/a>] [donate<\/a>]\n<\/p>\n EasyBCD 1.6 wouldn’t have ever been possible if it wasn’t for the help of the community. NeoSmart Technologies is a member-driven non-profit organization, we exist only to serve, and we only exist because each and every one of you is willing to help; be it by donating<\/a>, testing, or providing input. We’d like to thank certain people though who have really came through for us with EasyBCD 1.6:\n<\/p>\n First, thanks to Srivatsa Srinath and Desmond Lee of Microsoft Corporation for their valuable information regarding the inner-workings of the BCD, without their help, the diagnostics section would have never happened. Thanks to deVilhoOD for the help on fixing the HFS+ Partition Error with Mac OS X. Finally, special thanks to Jernej Jenko for sticking through while we bombarded his email with various testing scenarios.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s been a while, though we haven’t really noticed.
