As found here, Windows Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008 were released to manufacturing. This starts the process of large-scale UEFI deployment. This after a year of UEFI disappointment when Microsoft announced at IDF that UEFI would not make the original Vista ship. Considering what we've learned over the past year under the hood this was probably a good thing.
To this point, UEFI boot has been restricted to Itanium and server class systems. From the press release, "the UEFI Forum expects a wide variety of UEFI-compliant hardware and software product shipments in 2008." Having real systems means that a number of the quirks of current implementations will be held up to the glare of real users (both at home and in the work-place) which I expect will lead to a spurt of innovation and fine-tuning over the next 12-18 months. We're certainly busy with it here at Phoenix.

So is it possible to install Vista with UEFI on a TrustedCore computer? There does not seem to be a way to get it to boot to UEFI from the DVD.
