Why Does Hewlett-Packard Roll the BIOS ?
==========================================
Minimizing the number of the revisions of the BIOS is an
objective of Hewlett-Packard. However Hewlett-Packard may have to
release new revisions for any one of the following reasons :
Enhancements
------------
This is the case when a major new feature is available on the
market. Good examples are Microsoft Windows 95, a new level of
the Plug and Play standard, a new level of the PCI standard.
Procurement assurance
---------------------
Hewlett-Packard qualifies an additional supplier for a component
in order to secure the procurement.
Component roll
--------------
A semiconductor supplier introduces a new version of a component,
and stops the production of the previous version for
technological improvement reasons.
Quality
-------
To improve the quality, Hewlett-Packard has to make use of a more
reliable component, or to implement a design change.
Cost
----
Hewlett-Packard uses a different supplier which can supply the
equivalent component at a much lower price.
BUG FIX
-------
Bugs discovered in the previous version are fixed.
