1) This is just a magical bootloader that's needed during the initial install and that's it? I don't need to leave this in once the OS is installed?

2) Assuming the answer to #1 is yes, I'd assume that I can use this on more than PC, right?

3) What the heck is that monitor they're using in the picture of the PC?]]>Sep 17th 2008 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/Sep 17th 2008 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/Sep 17th 2008 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/Sep 18th 2008 2:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/Sep 17th 2008 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/Sep 17th 2008 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/Sep 17th 2008 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/Sep 17th 2008 10:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/* OS X installer can now detect EFi-X and deal with them appropriately.]]>Sep 17th 2008 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/Sep 17th 2008 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/Sep 17th 2008 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/Sep 17th 2008 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/Sep 17th 2008 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/When you get it, please do post a mini-review for the rest of us wondering how well this really works.]]>Sep 17th 2008 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/http://gizmodo.com/5049756/review-efix-dongle-perfectly-transforms-pc-to-mac]]>Sep 17th 2008 6:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/Sep 17th 2008 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/Sep 17th 2008 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/Sep 17th 2008 12:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/Sep 17th 2008 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/Sep 17th 2008 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/Sep 17th 2008 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/

"In short, plugging this gem into your PC will enable select systems to install OS X"

And if you don't know Apple's OS is called OS X, what the hell are you doing on here? Next you'll tell me you don't know what Vista is... It doesn't take a fanboy to know one of the most basic things about Apple, especially with how much apple is covered on this freaking website, which you were reading!

you can the the OEM version on Newegg for $99: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Description=vista+oem&x=0&y=0

that's what i bought and it works fine. don't know why people are down-ranking me for stating simple facts... i wasn't saying one was better than the other.

also, saying OSX is more innovative or whatever is an opinion. don't go around acting like some prophet of the operating system gods.]]>Sep 17th 2008 10:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/os-x-installing-efi-x-now-shipping-for-155/
