Does anyone really : want to go the direction of menus and such by using a microsoft bios? Like/dislike has nothing to do with it. The problem is that there are many cheaper machines that simply do not have SRM on them at all. A prudent course would be to support both. Dec has released enough information to write a boot loader for the ARC/Alpha console (and microsoft just released enough information to write one for ARC/Mips, now that it is dead).
