On Windows 8 I can get past the boot loop point and even see Windows' boot
logo, but then I get a black screen (which I guess is the evolution of the
blue screen) asking me to reboot the PC saying "Error Code: 0x0000005D".
That error code is what I get with Windows 2008, with or without or patch.
I googled a bit about it, and it seems to be related to some CPU
incompatibility, which makes me think that this is a difference issue
(meaning that your patch does fix the boot loop bug).
