I love the idea for this – a mobo specific hardware embedded Virtual machine that boots first on startup giving you hardware access to your internet connection without the drag of having to wait for WIndoze to shake itself and roll out of bed. ! Love it…just hope it’s something they can extract out of proprietary mobo configs and let us mere mortals install for ourselves
