EFI's coming to Windows machines as well, so it was a matter of figuring out what was different between the Vista betas floating around and XP on the boot side (Vista will be the first 'EFI-ready' MS OS, but XP test builds are known to boot on EFI)

use EFI without the Bios compatibility add-on which makes XP
unbootable. Well that was a week ago. The trick was to find a way to
create what's needed between EFI and XP (that add-on).

More or less, this is it. Hope some wil understand, it is quite
technical details ...
