No EFI-boot support in Windows Vista! Microsoft today announced that Windows Vista won't initially support booting from EFI, i.e. PCs with EFI will need the BIOS-compatibility mode which intel Macs lack. This definitely means that Windows Vista won't be installable out-of-the-box. The intel Mac users are still waiting for workarounds to install Windows XP or Vista betas on their Macs. So far, the only success has been to use linux (which can be installed) and VMware, which certainly isn't a good solution. Rather, we'd want direct VMware support in Mac OS X. Another option will be DarWINE, which already has preliminary support for running Windows apps in Mac OS X with X11. - posted by Patrick Armbruster @ 04:04 [article link]
