A willingness to change your work should not be construed as a declaration against your original code. methods and implementations change. This is software we're talking about. improvement requires change, but change doesn't necessarily infer improvement. |

I disagree, good design or code evolves, the linux kernel evolved, the 911 porsche car evolved etc. The BIOS has done a great job up to now, it does it job. Do not be taken in by people that can write pages of flowing words, judge things on, does it work and is it usable. |

You are right, but the BIOS that we have now on our computers are crowded with compatibility stuff, which nobody uses now i.e. old unused interrupts for readin 5 inch floppys, magnetic tapes and all stuff that is history now. So, there must be some updates at last.... |

I know this is not what the thread is about.
But, did you notice? Every time, the bios setup options are less, less, and more less.... the asus board I purchased in 2002 had lots of options. The asus board i purchased in 2004 had a litle bit less options, but still quit similar. The intel board i purchased in 2007 (I hate that bitch) had same options, but very less details of information. and the acer board of my actual notebook, I can change only the time, date, and the boot order....... |
