A lot of the newer laptops I come across have updated BIOS. When I boot into the BIOS my mouse cursor appears, and I can use it to go into the different menus and make changes.
For some reason, seeing a modern GUI in VGA mode on a 1280x720 pixel screen annoys me a million times more than a more BIOSey interface. The new BIOS gives me the same information, and I feel I can accomplish the same tasks in the same amount of time, but the pixelated check boxes, mouse pointer, and buttons piss me off. They don't add anything to the interface. They're just there, looking jagged. If it's not broke, don't fix it. Don't try to render curves on a 640x480 display.
Anyways. Enough ranting. I'm sure most people here will agree with us, but I have a feeling everybody else will either not care or be glad something old will be upgraded.
