That's a clever idea :)

The Hp Envy uses something called IOS, which is a different archive from
the QuickWeb one I found on the DeviceVM website. I'm currently
downloading it. Whereabouts should I look for patches?

I just got my system dual booting Ubuntu and Win7. Reverting back to
factory default would be a major pain in the backside (especially since
the factory default uses 4 logical partitions with no room for Ubuntu).
I might do it if I find some spare time.

IOS ran perfectly cool from what I remember though.

However, I'm not sure if DeviceVM abstract some stuff in the BIOS first
(they seem to say they do) and then run a cut-down one-size-fits all
Linux stack. In that case I guess you wouldn't find anything in the source.
