Reminds me of when apple switched to intel hardware and it was believed that you couldn't boot windows. Throw some money after it and people will find a way.


Booting Windows on x86 Macs (pre-Boot Camp) was mainly a problem of hardware support; Windows simply didn't support booting via UEFI in 2006, and Macs didn't ship with BIOS emulation.

Linux can boot on UEFI systems; the problem here is Secure Boot as configured on Win8 systems simply won't let you boot anything else without the proper signatures (or disabling it).
