On bios and ipmi updates, you can download and apply them yourself. For 
advanced bios updates, there is a licence you can purchase, as you do with Dell 
and HP.

On warranty, they are in line with the industry standards:

On open source, they work with the community, well enough to have a cetified 
list of compatible systems:

When you are in business, you do not want to go back to the drawing board each 
time. You need a platform where to build your own services. If you have to 
develop disk and keyboard drivers, and you are told off from the support 
mailing list, then the OS is worth nothing to you. OpenBSD is not ready for 
enterprise.

Your faithfull troll.
