BIOS to Hypervisor: Pheonix's transformation

I guess I missed this article: "BIOS maker Phoenix Reinvents Itself As Virtualization Vendor."

Phoenix have been working on HyperCore hypervisor and Linux platform called HyperSpace. Only time will tell but one advantage they have over other hypervisor vendor is that they have huge market presence as BIOS vendor. Probably better than Intel Inside since the BIOS works with all chip vendors.

Overall, my impression is that Phoenix is competing with VMware but the Phoenix CEO is quoted:
"VMware is building 18-wheelers; we're just building a little motor scooter"
We'll see...
