New BIOS => EFI

Apple has been using EFI for years. You don't want Microsoft bow down to the evil empier that is Apple do you? If it is beter then go right ahead.
 
Here's an idea of what it looks like on my Asrock board.

And for those interested. It looks much better, has a lot of options, can use the mouse, but it is really no different. It's still just a bios, just looks better.
 
Thanks Dave. I do like it, it looks better, you an use your mouse, and it has a lot of options. But honestly, it's the same old bios we are all used to, it just looks a whole lot better and fancier.
 
I have an EFI motherboard right now, and to be honest, it really isn't any different from the BIOS. Same options, exact same menus, just reskinned and the mouse is enabled (which I don't use because it is overly sensitive).

On the other hand, it does look nicer. That's really the only difference at the moment though.

Yep, that's some of the articles I read.

You would think they could put in an option to not search for new hardware, then the default would be 'run what you got', and load fast.
When you add new hardware you could then choose the option to search for it.
This would obviously be an option for enthusiasts.
 
Takes my computer longer to POST than it does to load Windows with EFI. Probably about 8 seconds from hitting start to getting to the windows loading screen, which is maybe 5 seconds from there to log in.
