Some folks out there believe that the "little guys" should have access to the bios of their computer motherboards. After all, look at what LiteOn almost open source firmware did for their optical drives. I don't think Dell and Intel are going to see it that way. After all, we have to protect the end user.
"Now, for the first time, some critics want to force the industry to abandon its hallmark secrecy. As the BIOS becomes more powerful, these critics argue, consumers must be allowed to freely develop their own alternatives to ensure that they keep control of their devices--and that means they need unfettered access to information."
