Security: Where is Symantec’s "Project hood"?

This has been apparently hiding under the hood for a while and needs a bit of exposure should Symantec want to exploit this opportunity to dive into the scorching hot virtualization market.

Symantec for more than a year has been developing a virtual security appliance for Intel’s vPro platform.

The appliance will run isolated from the main operating system, allowing it to scan for security threats without any interruption from viruses and other malware.

In fact, it does exactly what vPro was designed to do: run management software indepent from the main operating system, allowing IT administrators tighter control over the software.
