Apple uses Windows

Before I sold my iBook, I have been curious about the Apple EFI implementation. Downloaded the EFI firmware update for the MacMini and looked into the binaries, with my favourite first-line-reverse-engineering tool: string.

For my biggest surprise, it contained C:\... path names among those
“All Rights Reserved” fear Apple lines.

The path names definitely looked like, that the BIOS, err, I mean EFI was compiled on Windows.

Isn’t that depressing for an Apple fanboy? :)
