--- Comment #2 from Chris Murphy <bugzilla at colorremedies.com> ---
Yes! Obviously I didn't look very thoroughly. It's almost perfect, here are
some comments:

- "Your computer originally shipped with Windows Vista or XP." Could be:
"Your computer originally shipped with Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows
7."

- Under "Identifying a UEFI system"
"Any Apple Mac with an Intel CPU is considered to have UEFI firmware."


There's a class of hardware floating around now that doesn't initialize USB in
the pre-boot environment, so there's no way to get to a firmware setup or boot
menu. That in and of itself suggests it's UEFI. But I guess we can see if
there's much user confusion on this point before extending the section to
account for it.
