Barney's blog. Just a load of old shite really.

Tech news this week;
I enjoyed reading about this test showing how vulnerable unpatched Windows is compared to Linux. Not much of a shock to me, it must be said, but nice to see it officially recognised for a change.

Also, Microsoft revealed that it will not support EFI booting for Windows Vista on its launch, or at any time for 32-bit processors. This means that you won't be able to directly boot Vista on your Intel Mac (at least until 64-bit intel Macs appear), as Intel Macs only support booting via EFI. I'm kinda glad.
This is in complete contrast with the wonderful page declaring It's Official: XP Boots on a MacBook Pro. Good work fellas.
Oh, and Linux will reportedly support EFI just fine.
