I'm wondering how they have loaded the graphical and mouse drivers, prior to the boot.

Well I'm Swedish and I understood every word..want me to give a short summary?
1. Short intro to what UEFI is, successor to the popular and used BIOS. A lot of focus around it recently and it will be used thoroughly with the new generation of Intel-processors.
2. Jumps right in, and gives a hint that the motherboard-producers can to a greater degree implement their own software now. The one that they use is from ASUS. You can now use a mouse (doesn't explain how) and go into different setups/views. The first one is the simple one, where you can easily switch between powersaving, normal or the optimal. All the changes are done automatically and you don't have to do anything. A nice little drag & drop way of changing the boot priority and a few drop down panels that give you a little more options.
3. A more advanced view, more like the old BIOS. Works almost the same, but with updated graphics and a bit more options. You have different menus. Like the AI-tweaker where you can overclock processors and change clock frequencies (directly translated). So a quick summary of all menus is that is "more or less the same as you are used to when using BIOS". Check fan, temperature and other things.
4. Under the Boot menu you have some more options where you now can directly boot from a drive without going into different menus/settings and such.
5. Lastly there are some utilities like the ASUS flash utility which you can use to update "BIOS", you can easily pick which drive or USB sticks which version you want to update to.
6. Outro, quick review. UEFI brings some nice new solutions and it will be exciting to see further development. Sweclockers will be there to cover it.
