"It starts up, it has a BIOS environment to do its diagnostics and testing, and then it will look for an executable and go find an operating system."

All switches on the internet booting from the network? That's the wet dream of every hacker, including the NSA and their colleagues in other countries. The cherry on the cake would be if these things could get a BIOS update without human intervention. I hope they get the security right.
