As this is a "MUST" requirement, everyone will fulfill it, as they really do want the Windows 8 logo (if anyone wants to look up the source for this, go ahead, I am too lazy right now). If I understand it right, in Setup Mode, you can either boot any non-signed operating system, or you can import your own keys into the firmware, so that you can sign your own bootloaders. For me, this is enough to not care about Secure Boot.
