Abstract: A removable device and method for automatically booting a computer running a standard operating system (OS) into an alternative OS. The method comprises a user inserting the removable device into the computer, and the user launching an application stored on the removable device for booting guidance. The user directs the application to boot the computer into the alternative OS, whereupon the application determines a first booting technique to be used on the computer and configures the computer accordingly. The application restarts the computer in an attempt to boot into the alternative OS. If booting the alternative OS fails, the computer boots back into the standard OS, whereupon the application determines a next best booting technique and configures the computer accordingly. This process continues until the alternative OS is successfully booted, or, failing that, the user is given manual booting direction.

Abstract: A method and system for delivering value added service (VAS) applications offered by a service provider to a subscribing end user is presented. The method includes collecting, by a user service module, end user device information, forwarding, by the service provider, end user information, to a server, creating, by the service provider, target end user profiles, VAS application campaigns, and campaign schedules, and storing the same in the server. The method further comprises communicating, between the server and the user service module, to display an offer in the end user device for at least one of the VAS applications, in accordance with the target profiles, the application campaigns, and schedules, wherein, upon selecting by the user, the at least one of the VAS applications is loaded, installed, and activated in the end user device without further end user actions.
