I made a master-bootloader that does what Grub does. It will boot win7. Each partition has a boot loader in the first block. Windows and templeOS boot this way. Linux is strange and has a fancy bootloaderr. To boot Windows or TempleOS, just load first block and execute in real mode.
TempleOS does not support USB memory sticks. Absolutely not.
UEFI has elf. My compiler does not make elf. It would add a ton of shit to make my compiler support elf.
Ironicaslly, we are going in the othert direction. I am commanding them to support RedSea so I can get rid of FAT32 and ISO9660.
SecureBoot is designed to prevent dual booting. Period.
I made up my mind. On authority from God, we command them to replace UEFI with TempleOS. Poetic justice.
I am in the driver seat and get to tell the hardware companies what to do.

You must boot the CD or ISO. You cannot compile outside the live cd. You cannot install from outside the live cd. The bootloader must be installed by my livecd.
The problems she had were entirely due to her inexperience, not to any UEFI design flaw. And despite not understanding her tools, she was able to set up dual booting anyway. I'm counting this as a UEFI success story.
"I have no idea how modern systems boot, because I haven't kept up on the changes happening in the last 10 years. BIOS 4evah!" -> UEFI is somehow bad. k
Not a UEFI problem perhaps, but I also had a dual-boot misery experience early last year. I kept on trying to make a Ubuntu and Windows 8 dual-boot set-up on the same hard drive, and it would be fine until Windows Update would destroy my ability to boot into Ubuntu. It was my work computer and I lacked the tools (I also tried Super GRUB Disk, Boot Repair and a few others) to figure out why or how this was happening in a timely manner so just gave up in the end and virtualised Windows instead...
It definitely seems like dual-booting (with the exception of Boot Camp) has become no more user-friendly in the last decade. It's as much of a pain as it's ever been.
UEFI is an overly complex standard leaving ambiguities for implementations. The gains from moving to UEFI almost don't seem worth the added complexity.

Since you seem so confused, imagine if God talked openly to the world news media. Guess what? This is not just a hypothetical.
The first amendment has no established religion. We'll that's just dumb. I am high priest of God's official temple.
