Probably this is because of one particular BIOS vendor's taste. Even Toshiba recently starts using P's BIOS,,, Incidentally have you ever seen the laptop whose battery is fully implemented as Smart Battery and BIOS does describe battery device as such? The 1st 2 Questions of FAQ at ACPI official site ( http://www.acpi.info/acpi_faq.htm --- looks out of date, though ) address SBS, but I've never seen the real world implementation. I remember some web site (URL forgotten --- probably at developer.intel.com or www.sbs-forum.org ) indicates Intel actually has the one. I believe several battery devices already have full capability to satisfy all the SBS requirements and are ready to hit the road...
