HP Buying HyperSpace: New Quick Boot OS Likely for HP Notebooks
According to InfoWorld, HP is planning on purchasing HyperSpace, a light-weight operating system, for roughly $12 million from Phoenix Technologies. This move, following HP’s recent purchase of Palm and its WebOS software, shows that HP plans on implementing more non-Windows environments for its PC and Mobile platforms.
HyperSpace allows for the use of applications within 10 seconds of powering on a PC. This is useful if you need to quickly access a web browser or select applications, including Skype. See a demonstration below on a Lenovo S10 Notebook:
Following HP’s acquisition of HyperSpace, we will likely see many, if not all, of HP computers containing this Linux-based quick-boot operating system. Also, with the acquisition of Palm, WebOS will likely play a part in many HP mobile devices and most likely HP’s line of touchscreen printers.

Wrong YouTube video you linked to. The video is about Phoenix Quick Boot BIOS and not Phoenix HyperSpace. These are two entirely different things.
There's the article and YouTube video of HyperSpace that you should have linked to instead of Quick Boot:
