Would Blue Pill create a matrix for PCs?

Will you choose the red pill, and stay in Wonderland, or the blue pill, and wake up and believe whatever you want? If Joanna Rutkowska, a security researcher for Singapore-based IT security firm COSEINC, has her way, you'll choose the blue pill. She has developed a 'blue pill' that will create a fake reality for anti-malware sensors, including those baked into Microsoft's upcoming Windows Vista operating system. "The idea behind Blue Pill is simple, she said. The operating system "swallows" the Blue Pill and it awakes inside a Matrix controlled by the "ultra thin Blue Pill hypervisor." This all happens without restarting the system. "There is no performance penalty and all the devices, like graphics card, are fully accessible to the operating system, which is now executing inside [the] virtual machine," she said. "This is all possible thanks to the latest virtualization technology from AMD called SVM/Pacifica." " You can check out a demo at the Black Hat Briefings in Las Vegas Aug. 3.
