Bottomley: Owning your Windows 8 UEFI Platform

>I would ask BIOS/uEFI, firmware and bootloader developers which environment they prefer as they are the constituents who are most affected by the design.

From my selfish end-user perspective, I very much like that with UEFI my boot time is no longer dominated by the time spent before even reaching the boot loader. To be honest, that's the only quality I've ever cared about in a BIOS.

(Of course, there's still room for improvement!)
