CoreBoot (LinuxBIOS) Can Boot Windows 7 Beta

Posted by timothy on from the now-you're-just-messing-with-me dept.

billybob2 writes "CoreBoot (formerly LinuxBIOS), the free and open source BIOS replacement, can now boot Windows 7 Beta. Videos and screenshots of this demonstration, which was performed on an ASUS M2V-MX SE motherboard equipped with a 2GHz AMD Sempron CPU, can be viewed on the CoreBoot website. AMD engineers have also been submitting code to allow CoreBoot to run on the company's latest chipsets, such as the RS690 and 780G."

    My view is .. "it ain't done till Windows 7 doesn't run"

    I think they should tweak it so that Windows 7 boots, but every 30 mins or so it crashes. Call it ... Karma!

    I thought: "Wicked! My mojo will finally be complete! Shagadellic!"

    Then I read there's even a "Flashrom Live CD". < 185MB. Instant and spontaneous ejaculation!

    Then it came to me:

    This page is a work in progress. There is no ISO yet. This is just a plan for now.

    This is exactly like a fine woman looking at you. Saying she will give it to you. Eventually. Maybe. Cock teaser.

    Still a beautiful woman I like having around.

    Now please excuse me. I'll be off masturbating.
