While this is far from ideal, this isn't as bad as it may first
sound. Consider that most people don't know a thing about the boot process
anyway. And that in the evil empire's os, this is always the case.

The nice day will be when a hardware device that plugs into the VGA port
can do the screen reading. Then everything will be usable without
limitations that OS reliant methods subject.
