FYI... Dual-boot Windows 8 and Ubuntu 12.10 on UEFI hardware http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2012/11/05/dual-boot-windows-8-and-ubuntu-12-10-on-uefi-hardware/
So, I got a friend to lend me his copy of Windows 8 Pro. Armed with it, and an installation image of Ubuntu 12.10 Desktop, I set out to see if dual-booting the latest offerings from Microsoft and Mark Shuttleworth's outfit will pose any major obstacles on a motherboard with UEFI firmware. I don't think this really answers the question raised in this thread, because I believe some people were asserting that it mattered whether Windows was pre-installed on the machine. In the article above it sounds like the author is installing both OSs. -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
