This isn't exactly on topic, but I thought it was interesting
nonetheless. So with a mobo that would support this BIOS, could we
still pop out the Phoenix BIOS and pop in a LinuxBIOS or FreeBIOS?

BIOS maker Phoenix Technologies said it is currently shopping a
digital-rights-enabled BIOS system to top PC OEMs, the most
aggressive use of DRM technology to date.
Phoenix executives said Wednesday that they've developed a prototype
version of its Core Management Environment (cME) using DRM technology
in conjunction with Orbid Corp., a DRM technology provider. The
software was designed to assist content providers to authenticate and
track software moving from PC to PC.
