I get your point, but I think that it's not quite right. If you get a computer with Win 8 pre-installed, it won't boot if you turn off Secure Boot. However, I don't have a Win 8 machine on hand to confirm this. Of course, if you have the install discs, you could then re-install it with Secure Boot disabled, but that's a significant extra step (and you can only do it if your OEM supplied you with the discs).
