This is a very specific example of something the big BIOS players just don't give a crap about supporting well, either. It's a feature that requires two different _companies_ to collaborate to build. Mayhem.

Taiwanese companies still don't value good software engineering, so talented developers who know how to make money leave. This leaves enterprise darlings like Asus stuck with hiring lower tier talent for numbers that look good to accou
