I'm still new to the UEFI thing and don't really understand the issue totally ... but would doing something like getting a System32 box (or building your own) and then installing Win8 do the trick?

- wmf 14y agoYes, but bitching about being oppressed is cooler than just buying a Linux PC.
- takluyver 14y agoYes - the requirement is for manufacturers who want to use the Windows logo to indicate that their systems support Windows 8. But many new Linux users start by installing Linux on a PC bought with Windows, so we definitely want to make that as easy as possible.
