No EFI Support for Vista

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."

Re:Will there be mouse support in Vista?

Ohh, I could tell you exactly how wrong you are, but you are just trolling. "The difference between Vista and XP is as vast as the jump from Win3.1 to NT" proves it.

Needless to say, this makes Dvorak look like even more of an idiot before by completely refuting his moronic Apple switching to Windows prediction.

You must be a mac owner

Because mac owners are the only ones naive enough to think that cop-out flies. No our lives WON'T be much easier as Console gaming cannot and does not replace PC gaming.
I'm so sick of hearing that suggestion.

Well, Microsoft has always been a slow adapter of everything. USB was late, even a GUI came late. There is still support for floppy disks... no surprise here.

Actually, I'd say that Apple has always been on the bleeding edge, shortchanging their customers. I LIKE having support for old hardware. I can pick up any old $25 clunker at the thrift shop, install Windows 2000 on it, and know it's going to work. With Macs, you have no choice to buy their overpriced, bleeding edge hardware that sometimes leads to a dead end (firewire, bluetooth). How about this... I'll keep running Windows 2000 on ... well... pretty much any hardware I want, and you keep running your OSX on Apple's closed, proprietary, overpriced hardware.
