I installed a virtualbox 4.3.2 on a win7 x64 system (i5 3470, 16G memory)
Now, I want to install a win8 guest OS, and use EFI. I tried but always failed, not sure if virtualbox still doesn't support EFI for windows guest.
thx.

Many people wonder that. However the devs rarely hint at future plans.

If I remember correctly, the EFI implementation is not complete, but they have enough to support Mac virtualization.

Works with Linux guests just fine.
