I have noticed a disturbing trend in modern BIOSes. It has been a good long while since I've seen a machine that says "Press [key] to enter Setup." The lack of message would be fine if BIOS manufacturers decided on a setup key, but they haven't. I've seen Delete, Enter, F12, F10, F1, and F2. The result of these circumstances is that I end up pressing all the keys hopefully quick enough to make the computer give me a menu before the OS starts.
I'm sure the manufacturers removed the message because it was scary, or ugly, or something, but could we please either have a subtle message or a standard key?
