It is there to install the operating system on a machine with a UEFI enabled BIOS.

On such machines the computer executes code inside an \Efi folder rather than code stored on hidden sectors on the disk.

All new Windows 8 computers with the MS sticker use UEFI rather than the much older 16 bit BIOS or emulation of the same.

EFI is only supported on 64 bit versions of the operating system.
