EFI also has much more opportunity for expansion when compared to the legacy BIOS. Some recent Asus motherboards have shipped with Express Gate, which enables access to the internet and files in a few seconds. MSI have shown similar possibilities with EFI, with a Messenger and web browser in the pipeline, as well as many other add-ons. This internet access through the firmware also has other plus points - no longer do you need to go into Windows to download the latest updates, but simply download them from within EFI.
