UEFI, does it offer an advantage for a Win 8 PC?

But just thinking about this more, I wonder to myself if maybe just not running as Administrator, with Administrator privileges, would be the simpler solution. If you're not running as Administrator, you can't be altering those "key boot files".

But sometimes you want to install some "shareware" software. Like, say "Irfanview".

Irfanview, I trust. Other stuff, I don't trust at all. But then there's a gray area. And maybe some of the stuff I trust, to install, I shouldn't trust.

Maybe UEFI can help in those situations. Just guessing.
