Even “Windows” computers (laptops in particular) will be using this OpenSource minisystem.
Splashtop is preinstalled on the hard drive or in the onboard Flash memory of new PCs and motherboards by their manufacturers. Splashtop is a software-only solution that requires no additional hardware. A small component of Splashtop is embedded in the BIOS of the PC–that’s the part that runs as soon as you press the power button.

BIOS must die.
My MIPS board with 166MHz CPU is able to boot Linux kernel and start BusyBox in just 3 seconds. CoreBoot can boot Linux in about the same time.
But my PC spends about 15 seconds doing useless self-checks and device configuration in BIOS. Even though neither Windows nor Linux use BIOS themselves.

I’ve got a bridge. In Brooklyn. Maybe you’re interested….

Perhaps a well placed screw-driver. Maybe heat it up over the stove first.
I’m trying to be polite here. It doesn’t come easy, and you’re not helping.
