UEFI Paradigm

• Intelligent System what reads code and executes it.
• Uses GPART Boot Partitions instead of MBR, expanding Hard Drive Addressing capability
• Can Natively Read File Systems
• Uses a Virtual Machine to allow for executable code
• Has a "Secure Boot" feature
• It does not depend on Secondary Boot Loaders for flexible boot options
• Conceals all of the hardware complexity we saw in the BIOS system from the booting process
