I really don't have > a clue how a modern windows systems boots. I think ReactOS has a bootlader that can also boot Windows, or at least they are close to booting the Windows kernel. That bootloader could be then used for booting Windows without BIOS calls. I also heard that the 100-$-Laptop should now be able to use Windows. As it's using LinuxBIOS, this could also be interesting. However, maybe Microsoft simply modifies a special Windows for this, or they integrate a ClosedSource part in that LinuxBIOS, I don't know ... :-( Thanks, Bernhard
