+ <li>A way to identify specific Windows versions and present unique

+ distinction of XP and earlier vs. Vista and later is possible for
+ BIOS-booting on Macs, but no such distinction is made for EFI-mode
+ booting, and nothing finer-grained is attempted. Improvements will

+ <li>If you use a true MBR disk on a Mac to boot Windows or some other
+ BIOS-only OS, and if that disk has an extended partition, that
+ partition may show up in rEFInd as a bootable FAT partition. The
+ reason is twofold: FAT doesn't contain a simple "magic" signature
+ like most filesystems, so it's easy to misidentify something else
+ as FAT; and it's hard to positively identify boot code vs. other
+ random data.</li>

<li>The re-scan feature occasionally produces odd results, such as
ignoring new media or keeping old media that have been ejected.
This should be investigated and fixed.</li>
