Updates are possible via binaries executed in Windows. I've updated/downgraded BIOS's scores of times. NO, I have not used floppies for this after early 2000's (say around 2002). WHY? BIOS updates are available as executables that run from Windows.

Read my previous post again. In case of BIOS corruption, recovery is possible via supplied ASUS CD. The whole process is automated.
I'm no newbie to corrupted BIOS'es et al. Been in the game since early 90's. The only way to recover a corrupt BIOS then was to get the EEPROM chip removed, reprogrammed and re-soldered. With the current Crashfree BIOS from ASUS (I'm sure other board manufacturers will have similar technologies) recovering from a corrupt BIOS is as simple as popping in the BIOS recovery CD, reset/restarting your comp and have a cup of coffee while it does it's thing. No sweat.
Hope I've made myself clear.
