Windows8 must be shipped on systems with SecureBoot installed per the OEM
agreement, but it does NOT need to remain enabled. Disable in the BIOS.

If you are building a system, SecureBoot is NOT required.

Of course, this is based on the ubuntu UEFI and Win8 install docs.

I don't think of UEFI as a bad thing, it is just a new thing.  GPT partitioning
is definitely a great thing and Windows requires UEFI to make use of it.
