+we wont support SecureBoot for Mga3, and there is no rush considering
+a lot of changes is still happening on several fronts...
+
+I will try to see if I can fix the UEFI part for ~beta3, but no promises 
+yet....
+
+And for people thinking of Windows 8 dual boot... Win8 does not

+

+And personally, I dont think we should ever bother with the SecureBoot 
+crap as its flawed in so many ways...
