“Unified Extended Firmware Interface support in Windows Vista”. Microsoft (2006年10月26日). 2010年6月12日閲覧。 “Microsoft determined that vendors would not have any interest in producing native UEFI 32-bit firmware because of the current status of mainstream 64-bit computing and platform costs. Therefore, Microsoft has chosen not to ship support for 32-bit UEFI implementations.”

“Overview”. Unified EFI Forum. 2012年3月18日閲覧。 “Q: What is the relationship between EFI and UEFI?
A: The UEFI specification will be based on the EFI 1.10 specification published by Intel with corrections and changes managed by the Unified EFI Forum. Intel still holds the copyright on the EFI 1.10 specification, but has contributed it to the Forum so that the Forum can evolve it. There will not be any future versions of the EFI specification, but customers who license it can still use it under the terms of their license from Intel. The license to the Unified EFI Specification will come from the Forum, not from Intel”
