Depends on the OS and computer. I know a certain laptop computer
manufacturer that uses EFI for their OS, disks, etc. without issue...
If you mean Apple, remember that they needed to update the BIOS in order
to boot other operating systems.
Right; but the point is that OS support is the primary barrier where the
hardware supports it. The question is whether increasing disk sizes and
Window 7's EFI support will push vendors to finally use EFI, along with
the fact that it uses Windows 7 apparently uses a GPT partition scheme
by default?
