God this reviewer is moronic. He can't stand that the BIOS doesn't look nice? Who gives a rats ass?

I just can't help thinking that this would just piss me off. I think we all already know that a better GUI doesn't mean a better system.

If you can use the word "garish" to describe it, it's not a better GUI.

UEFI is the successor to the Bios and seeks to take us away from the antiquated method of changing core computer settings using the keyboard to a more graphical world where we generally use the mouse to make adjustments instead.

What? My Pentium III 900MHz eMachine PC had a mouse operated BIOS since 2001.

My IBM ThinkPad 600E had a mouse operated BIOS in 1997.

It was unbelievably crappy, had a flapping duck as the mouse pointer and only let you set the date, boot order, password protection, and run self diagnostics that tested various hardware parts. I hope MSI can do better but i somehow doubt it.

It's unfortunate to have to admit, but I originally read that as UFIA.

As far as I know, MSI offered EFI firmware images for quite some time, at least for some boards.

This has been around for, what, a decade? It looks like shit, and I think the boasted usability improvements are questionable. I don't see any added benefit at all for power users. I see all kinds of new ways for grandma to totally fuck up her computer without even having to press any buttons.

Low level settings shouldn't be so "inviting".

How do you pronounce UEFI?
