Microsoft does a lot of things the wrong way :)

Microsoft flashes the BIOS?  Then won't our BIOS, or part of it, get
blown away, if we're not careful?

I belive someone mentioned that there limits to how many times you can
   flash most chips. If so, then we definitly don't want to do it every
   bootup, especially if we are supporting DOS/Windows :)

I don't believe that we were going to flash it every bootup, just
every time that the user decides to changes his boot settings or
whatnot.  That should be fewer than 100,000 times, I think, normally.
