Does it have the error code....

"Keyboard not found.  Press F1 to continue."?

If not....I don't want it......I prefer a BIOS with a sense of humour....

It is nice. Haven't done much with it but it is very ... different and friendly at the same time. It's not as simple as the old style BIOS as Jafo pointed out but for me it's been easy to navigate and fairly intuitive.

I like being able to use the mouse. And access from Windows is cool. I have no need to access my BIOS from a smartphone. 

At long last..... progress!!

LOL....I love you too, dipshit. 

There is a vicious bug in Windows 7 I have discovered the hard way.

If you have a disk in the old MBR format (UEFI prefers GPT) containing an extended partition with logical partitions, Windows 7 will crash on boot while booting in the UEFI mode. It does not matter that the disk may not be even accessed, just being connected will cause the crash.

I had to move all my data to a backup disk, change the empty disks to GPT, and move the data back to make it work. Microsoft offers a solution, but it comes as a patch to the installation CD - basically, you have to make and burn your own patched ISO.

In general, UEFI is not a good technology. The main drive behind it is the attempt to lock your computer, because uefi supports booting to so called "trusted" platforms only - basically, it containts a set of public keys (provided by the manufacturer), and will boot only to an OS that was signed by one of those keys when "Secure Boot" is enabled. The original specification stated that there must be an off switch for Secure Boot on desktops, but that it must ALWAYS be ON on mobile platforms, so that the manufacturers could dictate what OS is eligible and what is not. 

It's basically another creepy-crawly move to snatch away another of your remaining rights - the right to boot whatever you want on a hardware device you have purchased.

My SSD is configured in MBR format and I have 2 1TB platters.  No problems with UEFI and MBR.  Windows7 Ultimate 64 bit.

OK... you've got the mouse... now try this tool (instead of the brush)   :

Well, as long as you can disable it on your mobo it can do no harm. But if you want to for example double boot linux and windows you are in trouble. Best stay away from it, it gives MS way too much control over YOUR computer.

UEFI is not BIOS.  It's a replacement for BIOS.

I will not buy another BIOS machine in my life.  I had UEFI on my DX58SO but I had to replace that horribly designed pile of...motherboard.

Yes, lets not secure our computers at all because someone might be inconvenienced.

Stay away from it if you're a Linux type?  Sure, if you can't use the already working methods.  Anyone else?  Use it immediately.

A NEW laptop with pre-installed windows 8 got the disc formatted GPT from scratch.

-Put a win 7 boot cd in it and it won´t even read it.

If you would want Windows 7 on that computer you would have to format the whole disc to MBR, taking away Win 8 and Everything else that came with it.

Read it & weep

Or just buy another Harddrive (SSD?) and keep the original with all it's content intact. This may void the warranty however.
