This may have been covered but if you are among the majority (I

machines without the UEFI boot firmware. Am I correct?
Yes, on non UEFI machines, Fedora will continue to run as it always
has. Even on UEFI machines, with secure boot disabled, it will run as
it always has.
Well, how fast will the mobo manufacturers and bios manufacturers
integrate UEFI and mass produce them for the market?
I am just guessing that manufacturers may balk and complain for a
while.
Any of them that wish to have a "Windows 8 Client ready" sticker will
do so. I suppose each will weigh the costs of complying with those
rules vs the cost of someone not buying their hardware because it
doesn't have the sticker.

With a simple BIOS transplant the board can move between configurations.
The BIOS transplant is made at the time of manufacture. Now, the question
remains, will system manufacturers take adequate advantage of this?
