You're assuming they are implemented correctly.  I think the evidence 
shows that both PXE and El Torito (which is also supposed to support 
menus...) are generally implemented like total crap.

Admittedly, PXE has generally been improving, whereas El Torito seems to 
be getting at least no better...
