Blurring The Line Between BIOS And OS

[Bari Ari]

Anyone else see this yesterday?

The Register
http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/3/29374.html

and Slashdot had an article
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/18/2228255

about "software (that resides within the system firmware and a protected 
area of the hard drive) that allows users on anything from servers to 
embedded systems to run diagnostics, browse the web and other things 
without having to boot into a full fledged OS."

Hey let's fix broken BIOS and hardware bugs with some broken bloatware.
