MS has stated that an
EFI-compatible Vista will be released eventually.

This is incorrect. MS has said that Vista will have native support for EFI from day one.

Oh for petes sake, Charles. What part of "eventually" don't you understand? Vista IS NOT A SHIPPING PRODUCT YET. Of course it will have native support for EFI *WHEN IT FORMALLY SHIPS*. It will have to since the PC Platform specs include it. The point is that the support IS NOT THERE NOW. You *KNOW* that. You're just picking nits.

That version will boot on the x86 Macs.

Incorrect. You don't know this to be true. Having EFI support does not guarantee that Windows Vista will run on an Intel Mac (there is no such thing as an x86 Mac, because Apple has never released a computer that runs on x86 chips except to a small pool of developers).

So now you're off in some part of your brain that doesn't include the newly renamed Intel "Core" processors as part of the x86 family? Hello. It's a renamed Pentium M. And they're in the new iMac and MacBook.
