| Short for Extensible Firmware Interface, EFI is a new BIOS standard developed by Intel and introduced with the release of IA-64 that greatly improves the features available in the BIOS. Some of the major changes in EFI include getting rid of the boot loader allowing the BIOS to select the operating system, EFI enables vendors to create drivers that cannot be reverse engineered, and has a small shell that can be run at boot that allows a small manageable working environment without anything on the computer.
