BIOS giant Phoenix Technologies will ship a fast-booting, power-sipping, Linux-based environment equipped with Opera Software's embedded browser, the companies announced. Due in January, and targeting "mobile PCs," Phoenix's "HyperSpace" product promises "instant-on" Internet access on mobile PCs, while the primary OS is booting, running, or shutting down, Phoenix says.

"Users will enjoy a dynamic online experience seconds after turning on their PCs. And once Windows has fully booted, users will be able to quickly and easily toggle back and forth between their Windows applications and the instant-on, always-available HyperSpace environment."
