No More Waiting for Windows to Load

Out of the labs of Phoenix Technologies comes HyperSpace, a technology that allows software to be installed directly in the BIOS. So the next time you're stuck in a lobby or in a bus, all it takes to start answering those long-overdue emails is just a push on the power button, and tada! your program is there ready and waiting for your command. Quoting from the Phoenix news page:

HyperSpace is an innovative platform that promises to ignite a PC revolution by transforming the mobile personal computing experience. It provides a unique computing environment that enables PC designers, security innovators and content providers to create instant-on applications that are available before, during and after Windows boot up and shut down.

It wouldn't be too hard to imagine that Steve Ballmer is throwing a tantrum right now in his office.
