You callin' me a dinosaur?

A quote from a ZDNet News article (emphasis mine):

Along with the new Itanium, Intel will also discuss "Tiano," a new version of the BIOS (basic input-output system) for servers. The BIOS, which records system settings and acts as an interface between a computer's hardware and software, is one of the oldest, least evolved elements of a computer.

What are they trying to say? :)
