The Visual BIOS, while requiring an adjustment in navigation and usage, is very nice and useful. Before I tried to install the OS, I spent some quality time getting to know the BIOS, and become familiar with the menus and screens. An old computer guy like me, I see the benefits of the Visual BIOS, and adapted quickly.
For me, this upgrade was a great experience, with great results.
