Anyway, by the time a Mac is displaying the Apple logo, the boot process
has already been turned over to the OS X boot loader. This appears to be
no more than 2-3 seconds after the hardware actually powers on, so this
Phoenix BIOS seems no more than 1-2 seconds faster than Apple's EFI boot
code.

And then... when that time has elapsed you've been booted into...
Windows. What's so "sweeeeeet" about that? ;)

computers - both my pc and my mac- are just tools to me and both macs
and pcs tend to work equally well for me (putting aside lack of
specialized software on a given platform). i don't seem to have the
unusually high incidences of problems on one platform or another some
do. ;D
