I would think that the Linux Kernel will incorporate some type of
equivalent / better version of this BIOS replacement.

Stephen,
I am not sure, if this addresses the issue completely (or, at
all), Xen EFI Support Being Added To Linux 3.17

Whenever a new kernel rolls out, I always up-date my machine.

I am a big fan of UEFI secure boot from the context of security.
I am not a fan that the industry let MS set the rules. I think
form the perspective of securing your firmware/bios and making a
secure chain boot handoff to an OS with full disk encryption it
will significantly reduce the shenanigans that can be performed
on your mobile computing devices and even slow down rootkits for
a while.
But unfortunately that did not happen and MS dictated the rules.
The linux world can easily catch up and more but there seems to
be a resistance to it that i am unsure of how to put my finger on
nor have i yet seen the real logic of the resistance except that
it is an MS baby now.

I would go with Michael's idea. I use Virtualbox to play M$
7, and it /boots far, far faster/ than a stand alone M$ machine.

You should be able to get ubuntu working with secureboot,
but I've never done a dual boot personally. Make sure you
look at it from the UEFI perspective. As Stephen also
indicted, you can set to boot in "legacy mode" too, but that
will break windoze ability to secureboot.
Thank microsoft and their for making cronie hardware oem's
have to protect their crappy os from infection (and
replacement). I'd rather just move it to a vm under linux
until it can be jettisoned later.

If it is newer hardware with Jedi secured boot, the you

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will
prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after
you hit the snooze button.
