Indeed. The issue is that there is no BIOS.

The only current version of Windows that supports EFI is the 64 bit one. Which isn't compatible with the Intel Core Duo in the Mac.

So yes, at the moment you can't natively dual boot. Vista will support EFI.
I wonder if you could dual boot the system with normal XP if you installed GRUB into the MBR.


Does GRUB work with EFI?

GRUB already works with EFI, and GRUB can launch Windows...

That's the thing about computers. If it doesn't work someone will hack it so it does.
