solving problems with problems (Score 1)

Because EFI has its own filing system that lives on a reserved part of the hard disk, it can become the standard home for a whole set of utilities that have always had an awkward fit with the BIOS

I my experience any thing with removeable parts or that moves, has a high chance of failing. With the current system trouble shooting is simplified somewhat by systems living in their own hardware. If systems start being shared across hardware components the risk of errors rises at at a rate inversly proportional to the ability of humble tech to resolve problems in a reasonable amount of time.

Imagine the tech support responses you would get then!
