Simply a re-post of warning from Lsdmeasap at Tweaktown (BTW - excellent GB forum):

Please DO NOT USE @BIOS!!
This cannot be stressed enough. I know Gigabyte is working on it, but as of now I cannot recommend using it AT ALL.
I have seen so many Boards killed (IE: Bricked, that is your motherboard is now a brick and you will have to RMA your board) by using @BIOS. I would guess that more then 90% of RMA's due to a bad flash, were because of @BIOS alone.
Yes it may work for you once or twice but if you keep using it you will find out the hard way it is not a good idea. Windows based flashing has always been looked down on and likely will never be a accepted or recommended method to flash a BIOS
