Have you ever used a machine with UEFI? Have you ever looked at the specification? You're coming off as a bit of a nutcase. Perhaps you forgot, perhaps you were ignorant of the fact, or perhaps you are just trolling, but Microsoft did not support UEFI for the first several years it was around. Intel developed UEFI because legacy BIOS can not work on Itanium processors. For the first several years of UEFI implementations Linux and a few Unix variants were the only thing you could use. I can't deny that Microsoft has steered implementations in a direction they want recently, but that was true of legacy BIOS as well. -- Chris Caudle _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
