  1. windows flash utils by _Shorty-dammit · · Score: 0, Redundant

    all my motherboards from the last, oh, four or five years have had windows flash utils. While this most certainly leaves non-windows users out in the cold, it still doesn't tie you to DOS exclusively. Whether or not it is wise to flash from windows is a different discussion. The fact remains, those flash utils exist.
