Microsoft deserves the blame. They require UEFI (more accurately called Restricted Boot) for Windows 8.

  Bullshit. I can boot Windows 8 from legacy (BIOS) mode on two machines.

    I think what your parent comment meant is that Microsoft requires UEFI to grant OEM licenses, otherwise known as "compatible with Windows 8" stickers.

    Yes, your own installation works, but not OEM installation works with legacy mode
