Microsoft Invading Your BIOS

Two different articles point out that Microsoft has made a deal with 
BIOS maker Phoenix to integrate their BIOS with Microsoft's Windows, 
Slashdot readers were quick to point out that this could allow 
Microsoft to exploit this in an anti-competitive nature, others 
mentioned that this could mean having a BIOS as unreliable as Windows 
itself.
