So, I repeat: you're setting the requirements as you are because you don't consider openness down to the hardware level a usability feature, you consider it a novelty feature. That's you. And in fact it's most of the Linux community. It's why it's so hard to make progress in this area, because the Linux community does *not* consider openness down to the hardware level as a priority, when measured against their other wants. Which, I have to say, sets all my "Irony-detection" devices to 11 out of 10. :-) In many other cases, coreboot *is* a key usability feature (hence the many chromebooks being sold) and in those cases, it is a very high priority, if not the highest priority. And, yes, you and I are both broken records where vendors are concerned. But vendors don't set priorities by anything but how many million units get sold. They don't care what we think :-) ron -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
