Change to 'Bios' will make for PCs that boot in seconds
A 26-year-old piece of software at the heart of PCs is about to get an update that will make for boot-up times of mere seconds.

Well that is great news!

Its not just boot time that is being revolutionised, but I/O implementation.

Could this be implemented retroactively to older computers or does it need something that only new computers have? The aspect of compatibility wasn't very clear in the article.
