[Gllug] OT: The end of OSs is nigh.

[Formi]

 Just read an article in newsforge.com about BIOS implementing OS
 functions.

 I can imagine it clearly.

 Joe user turns up his pc and gets a message from the BIOS.

 Hello, illegal mp3 files have been found in your computer.

 This system is now locked down.

 Step away from it. The authorities have been called.

 Have a nice day.

 P.D.: You are reminded that tampering with evidence is a crime.

 I suppose somebody felt a bit embarrased after predicting the end
 of the floppy a few decades back.
