ACPI

ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface.
ACPI is a standard that allows an operating system to recognize hardware, configure motherboards and other devices, and manage power.
ACPI let the operating system control power management, rather than the BIOS.
ACPI supersedes and replaces its predecessors APM (Advanced Power Management), the MultiProcessor Specification and PnP (Plug and Play).

Misc

Apparently, Windows installs different kernels depending on the availability of ACPI.

TODO

Security: Mark Shuttleworth has likened ACPI to Trojan Horses.

I find it confusing that APIC has the same letters like ACPI
