   What is the reason that drivers for various bits of   
   hardware are being put into the operating system,   
   usually only the very latest version of Windows,   
   instead of being flashed onto the firmware with   
   an API that is available (via BIOS or UEFI) to all   
   operating systems?   
      
   Thanks. Paul.
