To be fair, it is a pain in the neck that Microsoft won't let you create a true DOS boot disk from Windows. I ran into that way back in the 95 days when I had a virus and the AV software needed to be run from a clean DOS environment. Even back then it was hard to find one.

That said, I'm a big fan of the new BIOS update utilities built in to the motherboards. No more having to mess around with MS software to do BIOS updates.
