If I had to guess, that's the only kind of machine that will be 
available.  If MS can't win one way, they'll win another.
Just as they force Windows installs on machines, they'll force UEFI on 
mobo manufacturers.

Virtual machines, imho, are a pita!  And who's to say that W8 will allow 
virtual machines?
