Hypervisor and virtual machine ware
An apparatus, system and method for an instant-on environment. The apparatus, system and method may include a hypervisor instantiated by a BIOS, at least one application space instantiated by the hypervisor in parallel to, and prior to complete boot of, at least one main operating system, and a graphical user interface including at least one application software, which at least one application software includes at least one embedded content, launched within said at least one application space.
1 . An instant-on environment provided in the range of 8-14 seconds from an initial computing boot, comprising:
a hypervisor instantiated by a BIOS;
at least one application space instantiated by said hypervisor in parallel to, and prior to complete boot of, at least one main operating system; and
a graphical user interface comprising at least one application software, which at least one application software comprises at least one embedded content, launched within said at least one application space.
2 . The instant-on environment of claim 1 , wherein the instant-on environment is provided in the range of 10-12 seconds.
3 . The instant-on environment of claim 1 , wherein said graphical user interface comprises a webtop.
4 . The instant-on environment of claim 1 , wherein the at least one embedded content comprises at least one widget.
5 . The instant-on environment of claim 1 , wherein said hypervisor directs a networked communication for the BIOS.
6 . The instant-on environment of claim 1 , wherein the at least one embedded content comprises an advertisement.
7 . The instant-on environment of claim 6 , wherein the advertisement comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of a banner ad, a text ad and a popup ad.
8 . The instant-on environment of claim 6 , wherein the advertisement comprises a targeting to an active user of said graphical user interface.
9 . The instant-on environment of claim 8 , wherein the targeting comprises at least one cookie obtained by said graphical user interface.
10 . The instant-on environment of claim 8 , wherein the targeting comprises at least one cookie obtained by the operating system.
11 . The instant-on environment of claim 6 , wherein the at least one advertisement comprises a widget.
12 . The instant-on environment of claim 1 , wherein the at least one embedded content comprises a network search capability.
13 . The instant-on environment of claim 12 , wherein the network search capability is associated with a sponsor.
14 . The instant-on environment of claim 12 , wherein the network search capability presents at least one networked advertisement in association with a search result.
15 . The instant-on environment of claim 1 , wherein the at least one application software comprises virtual ware.
16 . The instant-on environment of claim 15 , wherein the virtual ware comprises a remote server access provided by a BIOS executed network link.
17 . The instant-on environment of claim 1 , wherein said graphical user interface comprises virtual ware.
18 . The instant-on environment of claim 17 , wherein the virtual ware comprises a webtop, and wherein the webtop comprises remote drag-and-drop content functionality with at least one environment native to the BIOS.
19 . The instant-on environment of claim 17 , wherein the virtual ware comprises a webtop, and wherein the webtop provides web-based centralized storage.
20 . The instant-on environment of claim 1 , further comprising a toggle, wherein said toggle switches between said graphical user interface and the operating system, once booted, upon a user instruction.
