Windows 8 and Nothing Else

Windows 8 will ship with a new features called Secure Boot.

Ars Technica writes "Windows 8 computers that ship with UEFI secure booting enabled could make the task of replacing Windows with Linux or dual-booting the two operating systems more difficult. In order to get a “Designed for Windows 8” logo, PCs must ship with secure boot enabled, preventing the booting of operating systems that aren’t signed by a trusted Certificate Authority."

So it's 8 and nothing else. If you want to run an alternative OS or dual-boot, then make sure Windows 8 isn't one of them.
