So we can run Windows on 64bit using GNUFI soon? ;-)

GNUFI is my implementation of the UEFI specification.  It is hopefully
"soon to be released".

As a short status report; it can load GRUB2 with bulk EFI-support and
GRUB2 can in turn load and boot GNU/Linux.  When I get the time I'll
try other free EFI loaders (elilo, refi, ...).

While googleing the other day I found OSXP, which seems to be a XP
loader which runs on EFI: http://daemons.net/~clay/OSXP/ . I have yet
to look closer at it.
