Expect to install Windows 8 on Windows Server 2015 with Hyper-V? Nope, sorry. Windows will probably also end up refusing to run as a guest on any hardware it doesn't like.
Basically, it's the end of the PC platform. I don't know whether Microsoft realises it but we'll all look back on this as the beginning of the end for them.
Wow this is bullshit. Windows 8 runs fine WITHOUT secure boot. Windows 8 runs fine ins a virtual machine.
First, UEFI replaces BIOS. You're not disabling UEFI, you're disabling SecureBoot. Second, Windows 8 runs fine without SecureBoot. Third, Windows 8 certifications REQUIRES the user to be able to turn off or reconfigure SecureBoot. UEFI (and in turn SecureBoot) is NOT controlled by Microsoft. The UEFI Forum consists of members of AMD, American Megatrends, Apple, Dell, HP, IBM, Insyde Software, Intel, Lenovo, Microsoft, and Phoenix Technologies.
