More than one million devices have already shipped with LinuxBIOS, and the growth is continuing. In his interview for the upcoming FOSDEM 2007 conference, LinuxBIOS creator Ronald Minnich talks about vendor support, the One Laptop Per Child BIOS, and his reluctance towards EFI.

I've seen LinuxBIOS in news before, but if Chipset makers have gotten on board, seen LinuxBIOS and then backed off over the years, why is that?
Is there something wrong with LinuxBIOS?
Maybe they are behind other BIOS's in terms of functionality?
I'm not picking on it, because having some things Opensourced is great, but there come a time where non-Opensource programs/technologies are better than the Opensource ones.
Most End users do not care what their BIOS is, they care that it's going to work, with no problems.
And how is LinxBIOS in terms of Overclocking etc.
The title is misleading too, he doesn't really talk about the security concerns of EFI, he just say it's possible.
In this world, anything is possible.
