What I should have said was: The host machine would be converted from Win8
to Ubuntu and Ubuntu does support UEFI after 12.04 right?
Im hoping to basically image the machine and then flatten / rebuilt with
Ubuntu and run the orignal Win8 in a VM, reason: if the user messes things
up its easy to roll back with a snapshot
