DietFluffy writes "Microsoft revealed today that it will not support EFI booting for Windows Vista on its launch. The news will be a shock for owners of Intel Macs who had hoped they would be able to dual-boot between Windows Vista and OS X. Intel Macs only support booting via EFI."

    Aww... boo hoo, somebody can't boot his 4TB RAID array. Seriously, no sympathy here until you hand over that array.

    Buy a video game console!

    I'm serious, nowdays a PS2 offers a much better experience than a computer. And you can even use them to do a LAN Party.

    I admit that some titles work much better on a computer, such as FPS' and Strategy games. But the PS2 come with 2 USB ports, and it's just a matter of time until some figure out a way to support mouse and keyboard with their titles.
