It would be really handy to have VM software just "built in" to the BIOS and chipset. You could do some things at this level that are just impossible at higher levels, because you know some of the hardware you're sitting on at dev-time.
I don't know about the rest of the features of this thing, but the "virtualization at the firmware level" thing has potential.

- ableal 17y agoNow coming to a laptop near you ... Microsoft also seems to be heading that way, now. Perhaps too late - they have an extremely heavy 'backward compatibility' load, carried so far (maybe too far) on a single code base.
