No. Just that Apple chargers $30 for the drivers. Installing graphic drivers: seems like it slowly is getting easier and better to install those now, may require Boot Camp driver 4.01+. The Mac Pro Early 2008 was the first Mac with full 64-bit UEFI too. Booting GPT requires EFI and Intel/MS and Apple officially adopted a UEFI standard late 2007 for 64-bit kernel boot mode, for MS starting with Vista SP1 64-bit in 2008.
