| versions of popular open-source software that end users will be able to
| access instantly, even without booting Windows.

Phoenix HyperSpace: Quick-Boot Your Laptop
,----[ Quote ]
| Phoenix Technologies' new HyperSpace is an instant-on environment for
| laptops, letting users launch a browser or other apps with booting into the
| OS.
|
| Today, Phoenix Technologies introduced a firmware product called HyperSpace,
| which allows PCs to run a number of applications separate from the operating
| system. What that means is that if you use a PC equipped with HyperSpace, you
| will be able to quick-boot your notebook into a secure Linux environment,
| where you can use Web browsers like FireFox and pre-loaded Web-aware apps
| like Google Earth, Picasa, and the like.

|
| Also, since HyperSpace is a Linux-based platform, Windows viruses won't
| affect it.
