Submitted by AMD Embedded Solutions has gained a great appreciation for the value of coreboot to our ecosystem and continues to build momentum by adding support for our existing products, adding new features, and introducing a roadmap for support going forward.” Let’s hope regular boards are next.

I don’t know how much money is going for BIOS in a $500 laptop. I don’t mind whether is open source or closed source as long as it is super fast, secure & cost less. I’m just a end user here.
Some operating systems start much much faster on CoreBoot.
You _can_ avoid a lot of duplicated work with CoreBoot.
From power off to the desktop in ~3 seconds not fast enough for you with a fully oss system?
It’s more secure if security experts can review the code.
It’s more reliable if the code can receive peer review.
I care just as much as you about which BIOS my computer is running, as an end user. But as an OS developer, on the other hand, I say hooray for open-source BIOSes and firmwares, and death to the EFI patent minefield.
