A goal of mine when I got my 2009 Mac Pro was to try an EFI install of Windows 7. Linux doesn't have an issue booting from EFI so getting triple boot systems isn't as much of a pain in the rear end. However, the EFI implementation Apple uses before these new machines is at latest 1.4. Here is a link describing what I want to do:

According to the following Apple KB article, recent Macbooks have an EFI 2.0 implementation:

My question to you guys is if the new hardware that was just released is running a 2.0 EFI implementation, and if so, is a native EFI install of Windows 7 possible? If anyone can get back to me with this, it would be appreciated, as I may purchase one strictly for this functionality.
