We can't really know, because they don't publish their (firmware) code. But their chosen (firmware) architecture is unneccessarily complicated; that's not a choice technical experts would make. We do however know what consequences said (firmware) architecture have for coreboot, both the good and the bad. > One would believe that those who know their platform best and get > paid to work on it 8 hours a day produce nothing of bad quality… :| Please remember that Intel is a parts supplier for machines. Software is merely a supporting act for hardware sales, and I think that shows clearly with Intel, as it does with most hardware companies. //Peter -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] https://mail.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
