Short for Extensible Firmware Interface, EFI is a new BIOS
standard
developed by Intel
and introduced with the release
of IA-64 that greatly improves the features
available in the BIOS. Some of the major changes in EFI include
getting rid of the boot loader
allowing the BIOS to select the operating system, EFI enables
vendors to create drivers
that cannot be reverse engineered, and has a small shell
that can be run at boot that allows a small manageable working environment
without anything on the computer.
