Description: What is the new feature UEFI being implemented?

UEFI, or Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, is a piece of software that allows your system to boot and load up your operating system. UEFI is being implemented to replace the traditional BIOS on new Windows 8 machines. A few advantages to this switch will be faster boot times and allowing larger hard drives to be the boot device.

UEFI is also going to have Secure Boot enabled automatically with new machines as well. This will allow systems to boot safer as only certified Operating Systems can be booted and not allow malware to hijack this process.
