The revolutionary EFI- X TM allows the trouble-free installation of Apple Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and Linux easily in almost any PC. Computer users now have the freedom to choose and natively run the best operating systems (EFI and BIOS based) in the market without any virtualization software.
Florida, U.S.A. - January 6th,
2009-Art Studios Entertainment Media (Represented in the U.S. by EFI-XTM North America - www.efixna.com) released this past September its
EFI-XTM USB product; a new and revolutionary USB internal module that
allows almost any desktop personal computer (PC) user to install Mac OS
X 10.5, Linux, and Windows in EFI mode, following Intel's
specifications.
EFI-XTM is the only BPU (Boot Processing Unit) that
provides a full EFI (Extended Firmware Interface) to almost any PC that
still runs the limiting and antiquated BIOS firmware. With EFI-XTM,
almost anybody with a regular PC will be able to run any EFI-based
operating system (e.i., Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, Linux, Windows XP 64-bits, Windows
Vista) in native mode without the need for any virtualization software.
Before the introduction of the EFI-XTM module, it was very cumbersome to
install EFI-based operating systems on a typical BIOS based PC; now,
with EFI-XTM, it's a matter of introducing the original factory DVD with
the operating system, waiting a few minutes, and the user will be able
to enjoy any operating systems of his choice.
The
EFI-XTM is definitely not just a Mac OS X install device. It's designed
to allow easily installation of almost any operating system. From
legacy BIOS operating systems like Windows XP to EFI-based setups like
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, the EFI-XTM module handles them all. The process
is seamless and non-intrusive. This means there's no emulation layer of
any kind, and the host operating system interacts with the PC's
hardware directly. With the EFI-XTM module, users don't have to patch
their original operating systems nor do they have to worry about
crippling their setup due to a system update from the operating system
manufacturer.
The
EFI-XTM module has been developed for more than two years in Europe. Its
software code is proprietary of Art Studio Entertainment Media and was
developed internally by the company. Today, the EFI-XTM module is made
in Holland with the highest quality standards. When asked how the
EFI-XTM idea was born, Davide Rutigliano, CEO of Art Studio
Entertainment Media said..."we wanted to fill a niche that nobody ever
explored. The boot time of our PCs... Everyone focuses on what we do
"after" the OS is loaded, but very few imagine how many things you can
do at boot to enhance and ease our work on any OS." Rutigliano
responded when asked about the target audience for the product..."We
address our products to an audience of overclockers, computer experts,
people that love fiddling with their hand-picked hardware, and people
that realize that the more expert you are about IT, the better your
work, whatever it is, will be."
Since
its conception, the EFI-XTM module has been designed to go in the same
direction as the other computer manufacturers in the market, and never
against them. EFI-XTM has nothing to do with the "hackintosh" community
and complies with the guidelines of the computer industry. Art Studio
Entertainment Media is an independent company with no links to Apple
Inc., Microsoft, or any other computer or software manufacturer. The
company doesn't support piracy and encourages all its users to buy
original and legal copies of operating systems. Apple Mac OS X's EULA
(End User License Agreement) is not violated by the EFI-XTM module since
the product is sold separately from a PC, and it arrives to the
customer's hands with no operating system associated with it. The end
user chooses to install the operating system of his preference on a PC.
When asked about the potential legal implications of the product,
Rutigliano said..."We take to court whoever sells our modules bundled
with a PC - and we are very aggressive about it. Our distributors sign
a contract that prohibits them from selling PCs bundled with our
modules." He also added..."It is possible that we will go to court with
Apple, but most likely "supporting" them, in case we ever find out that
someone is selling PCs with our module installed. Selling a computer
that can boot OS X is a unique right that only Apple has. And we
enforce it."
Prices and Availability:
The
EFI-XTM module is readily available since September 2008 and can be

America. M&M Investments LLC, a Florida company, DBA EFI-XTM North
