Installed Linux Mint 14 64 bit cinnamon edition. The install went without a glitch but I had to first disable secure boot from BIOS. Then I booted into the live USB and installed Mint. Everything else works perfectly fine except for the fan. The fan wont switch off when using Linux and after a while, the sound of the fan spinning at full speed becomes irksome. There are of course methods to turn it off or do some further tweaking, but I would rather virtualise than throw away the beautiful UEFI boot screen and secure boot for a Linux distro. I hope that with the release of Ubuntu 13.04, the problems are resolved and that I can use secure boot and have the fan speed problem under control.
Ubuntu 12.10 boots in UEFI secure boot mode but this works for 64 bit versions of 12.10 only. No other problems, except the fan problem mentioned above. Ubuntu boots and works super fast but the system runs a little hot. Once you boot Ubuntu in 64 bit, even if you restart, it will boot Ubuntu only. To get Windows 8, while booting, press F12 to go to boot options and select Windows boot manager. Now you can get Windows to boot.
