What is a UEFI? UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is a specification detailing an interface that helps hand off control of the system for the pre-boot environment (i.e.: after the system is powered on, but before the operating system starts) to an operating system, such as Windows or Linux. UEFI will provide a clean interface between operating systems and platform firmware at boot time, and will support an architecture-independent mechanism for initializing add-in cards.
Right. Lets just put it this way: The UEFI is going to boot up a PC, Laptop, Netbook, or tablet in mere seconds. No more wait time, just like switching on the TV.
Computers that boot in seconds should be hitting stores next year.
