I think that the biggest problem is that this whole thing
makes the computer useless as a server.
Imagine you have a power failure. The UPS signals a
power failure and the computer then shut downs orderly
to save the batteries.
But when the power comes back up, the computer halts
at the stupid screen and does not boot. This makes it
useless as a server.
This is as aggravating as some of those that have
power supplies that do not kick in when the power comes
back on, or that halt on lack of a keyboard. When a
manufacturer takes out options on the BIOS setup, it
detracts from the usefulness of the machine. I do not
think it would take too many complains about your
virus detection behaviour to have the company issue
a flash bios upgrade. :-)
