This paper provides information about Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) support in Microsoft Windows Server code name "Longhorn." Firmware and system designers can use the guidelines and requirements in this paper to ensure proper functionality of the Windows Server Longhorn operating system. This information applies for Microsoft Windows Server code name "Longhorn" and subsequent Microsoft Windows client releases for all supported platform architectures unless explicitly noted otherwise. This paper does not replace any existing firmware requirements (for example, ACPI requirements), and hence the contents must be considered as additional requirements for an EFI-based platform.
