Jumping to Conclusions on BIOS, Phoenix, and Windows

tomlasusa writes "In a post on LinuxQuestions.org, user 'chessonly' cites a 2003 article from Networkcomputing.com by writer Steven J. Schuchart as evidence of that Phoenix Technologies has made its BIOS more Windows-friendly — thereby locking out users from using other OSs. In a rebuttal posted at nwc.com, Schuchart says that this is just not true."

dugg down

[masteroffm]

so i posted a response on digg to the first post that proclaimed "OUCH! there is no way in hell my next motherboard purchase will have a Phoenix BIOS..." and I pointed out that this was a laptop, not a motherboard and that i could kind of understand but that it was no excuse. my comment was dugg up briefly, but then very quickly dugg way down. it frustrated me so much that people could be so ignorant to digg up the first comment about declaring a boycott of Phoenix bios motherboard when posting referred to a laptop and then buried my comment. this type of mob stoopidity that has become so rampant has left me disillusioned about digg i dont plan make use of the site anymore. between slashdot, engadget, gizmodo, and fark i can get all the news i need, but without a bunch of 13 year old juveniles piss all over it.
