Not entirely correct. Microsoft licensing requires UEFI Secure boot
for PCs sold with preinstalled Win8 and the "Windows 8" logo.

Win8 itself boots and runs fine on legacy hardware without UEFI 
(and often outperforms XP or Win7 on the same hardware).

But the real-world end result is the vast majority of future
computers will be sold with UEFI secure boot enabled as the default.
