You are assuming here that there will not be some cracker (or even just some 
frustrated dual boot user) patching this requirement out of Window$ 8 (no 
matter whether doing that is legal or not). (See what has been done to OS X 
and its restriction to Apple hardware only.)

The problem there is clearly on the Window$ side, nothing we can or should 
do about it.
