1. Comment - Microsoft: No Vista on Intel Macs

   (Mar 10, 2006 - 6:15 PM)

   Your article said: "According to APCMag.com, which first broke the story on Friday morning Australian Time, support for EFI among 32-bit processors would have to wait for "subsequent release of Windows client."
   
   I appreciate you guys crediting the article to us at APCMag but unfortunately that isn't quite what the article says. The APCMag article (full disclosure: I'm the author) says that there will be NO support for EFI booting in Windows Vista client (even the 64 bit version) until a "future release" of Windows.
   
   And it also says that there will NEVER be EFI booting in a 32 bit version of Windows.
   
   The first time we will get EFI booting in Windows is in 64 bit Longhorn Server. After that, Microsoft couldn't specify when it would be introduced into 64 bit Windows Client.
   
   The fact that Intel Macs use 32 bit processors right now is unfortunate but incidental -- Apple can change to 64 bit Intel processors as soon as they are released.
   
   The real story here is that Microsoft has withdrawn its plans to offer EFI booting for ANY version of Windows Vista client on its release.
   
   The correct story is here: http://apcmag.com/apc/v3...303D9AACA25712C008166C4
