Re: Given that...

It was my understanding that for the OSs to support updating the microcode in a given computer model, they usually need the help and feedback from the computer maker, at least regarding the motherboard* and the BIOS**, and I read in these same forums a year or so ago that many manufacturers weren't providing that help. Am I in the wrong here?

*note: Including motherboards personalized to the specifications of the computer manufacturer.

**note: Ditto regarding BIOSs and its updates.
