The EU will require it to be supplied with the machine or ban sales. They have
the muscle and are not afraid to use it.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

If you mean, "How long will it be before other people write BIOS compatible
with system 'X'", then the answer is somewhere back in the early 1980's.
Phoenix, Award, et al... have never done anything else beyond create alternate
versions of the original IBM BIOS systems.
Very early on, some got a bit too close (literal copying, as well the patented
element of including half of Microsoft's BASIC in ROM, while loading the other
half from disk), and IBM made them stop. However, IBM also provided early
assistance in producing non-infringing versions of the actual core API stuff.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
