DOS ain't dead

ACPITOOL v1.1 (Announce)

1. SeaBIOS has been shown in practice. AFAIK it can be load from a HDD, but it definitely works if flashed into the motherboard as a firmware. Doesn't matter anyway, because CSM itself is a "UEFI BIOS".

2. "DOS doesn't provide *ANY *BIOS interface blah blah blah blah blah". That's right. But an UEFI DOS should. Otherwise it is entirely useless. As I said, DOS programs rely on BIOS services just as much as they rely on DOS itself. They can wipe their ***es with a DOS running with UEFI directly if they still can't.

DOS isn't about why. It's about why not.
