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."

    Our ability to choose Microsoft Windows will help us defeat the monopolistic G$$GLE evil empire. Horray for Stephen Ballmer who is a genius and an anti-imperialist hero to millions. I have a cellular telephone!

    Idiot! It should be "One small post for a troll."

    Sweet historical slam on an FP troll. Sweet. Just wish I could have used my mod points on you.

    You do know that with the historical reference you would have gotten modded up if you hadn't posted AC?
