    Phoenix is not alone in moving toward such changes. Chip giant Intel has pushed for a predecessor to BIOS it calls the Intel Platform Innovation Framework for EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface).

    How does one push for a "predecessor" to something? Is that like back to the future? It makes me wonder about the rest of the article.
