I think the note that "This BIOS is NOT intended for use with machines running a Windows operation system" is rather telling. People saw the Lenovo BIOS issue as an anti-Linux move, but really I think it's an anti-Windows 7 move.
- wyldfire 10y agoI think there's hardly any "anti" anything here. Team member: "boss man, we screwed up. let's enable some of our customers to get a quick fix!" Boss: "Hmm, ok, sure patch looks good QA team will have them ship shape in 7 weeks once we redo WHQL testing" Team member: "boss this only benefits our linux customers so we don't need to do WHQL" Boss: "hmm we don't have a linux test suite so QA says that there was no regression with this new release. Good job! Just don't let any of our windows customers use this release. You can tell g3ntoo04 that he can have this BIOS update but don't put it on the support website."
