I started worked with EFI (now UEFI) back around 1998 with Intel Itanium powered mainframes that could run Windows, Linux or our proprietary legacy OS’s. UEFI is the key to a lot of things once, if ever, it gets used to anywhere near it’s full capabilities. With the coming advent of non-volatile processor main memory the 0 wait startup will lead directly to transparent switching between operating system images on the same machine…they will just be running in parallel. The Linux world apparently would rather avoid learning something new and just keep tweaking the next decimal point on their releases.
