[Ti] Windows compatable

[Alex]

However with Darwine gaining ground with the Intel switch... slowly  
mind you...
Wait for a bit and then why on earth would you install windoze when  
all windoze programs will run under X11 on OSX?
without a whiff of M$ anywhere.
Oh the Bliss. and it will be :-)

This article from 2003 shows that Windoze was booting within EFI PC's  
using 32bit P4 processors 2 years ago!

here is a review of the gateway PC in question, it was running the  
Media Center WinXP.

If it could be done in 2003 by gateway! of all companies! I am sure  
it will not take very long for
an ICBM (Intel Chip Base Mac) :-) (thanks for that rosyna from  
unsanity.org) to get a hacked Winodze running on it.

We will just have to wait and see...

I fully expect that Linux will have support for EFI (if they don't  
already).

Microsoft may or may not add EFI support to Windows XP (probably not,  
unless Vista is delayed again).  LongWait, err..., Vista is supposed  
to have that support.
