HP Assumes You’re Stupid

The other day I had to enable virtualization extensions on a HP laptop. There is absolutely no direct way to get to the BIOS. I had to go look up some documentation to finally find out that you have press F2 to get to boot options and then press F10 to get into BIOS, re-iterating my hate for all products HP.

Once you get in, you’re greeted by things like “specialized software applications” and “HP recommends that this feature remain disabled…”. I get it that laptops likes these are meant for normal users, but it should not mean that normal users are tech-illiterate and don’t know anything about virtualization.

P.S.: Awesome(sarcastic) BIOS utility name by the way – InsydeH20.
