Story: Phoenix launches first 'trusted' BIOS

Well I will never buy any Phoenix BIOS again. This is a joke who do they to think they are. No one can write a new security layer for only one OS and force people to use it.

So inturn all I need to do is get the private key for any server and take it over. Or worse yet only signed code from Microsoft will run. If this is not antitrust, nothing is. If Phoenix is going to do this why not sell it as Microsoft Bios and kept there normal bios too.

This is the same the mistake that intel did by putting a serial number in the microproccessor. Can you think of replacing your mother board and can not boot your machine becuase of the BIOS DRM does not let it. Or losing all you Documents because you are not the owner any more because your DRM changed.

Security is about trust so the question is:

Do you trust Microsoft?

Do you trust Phoenix?
