First and foremost I want to disable Secure Boot so that I continue to
use my computer the way I have always used it.
As I have no interest in Windows 8 (which is essentially Windows
7 with some non-desktop gimmicks tacked on), I would continue with
using (non-UEFI) Windows 7 on one occasion each year (to compile the
family DVD), leaving Secure Boot firmly off.
Even if, eventually, I had to move on to Windows 9 or whatever with
Secure Boot on, I would tolerate enabling Secure Boot once a year as
before., then back to Disabled for normal life under Linux.

If you would be continually switching between Windows 8 and Linux
then I would understand the reluctance to have to keep
enabling/disabling Secure Boot to do so, and switching to a
distro that will load under Secure Boot (e.g. Fedora, Ubuntu, SUSE)
would avoid that.
I look forward to reading accounts of efforts to install Windows 8 as
a guest on VirtualBox under Linux...
