Star Microsoft Bombshell: No EFI Support for Windows Vista
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Fri 10th Mar 2006 01:16 UTC, submitted by danwarne
Windows 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.

WinFX: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinFX
Windows Presentation Foundation (the powerhouse behind accelerated graphics display AND the awesome XAML stuff that third party devs will gobble up)

Those are 2 big things. There are tons more new things. If you are unable to read crap besides slashdot and desktoplinux.org which says otherwise, oh well. Don't use Vista then, no one will care.

Except that Vista ships without WinFX. It's however going to come in some years. But WinFX will not make it this year. And you know that.

So that one is off.
