Which would require Bootcamp, because motherboards in Macs have BIOS that isn't intended to boot Windows. I think I'll run my OS on hardware that was designed for it. They don't have 30 year-old BIOS, they have the new EFI with BIOS compatibility. Windows has been EFI native for the Itanium platform for years, but it has recently crept into the x86-64 world with the 64-bit Server 2008 and Vista SP1.

This comment brought to you buy someone using an internet connection running on TCP/IP, a 30 year old communication protocol.
I don't care about the BIOS, frankly. That's not at the top of my list on important features. As long as it works without causing problems, it's good enough.
