The switch from legacy BIOS – which is no longer supported – to UEFI boot makes it possible for machines to run both Android and Windows 8 on Intel-powered devices, from desktops to tablets and smartphones. "This is a developer preview release of pre-alpha quality," Intel said. "It is buggy and not highly optimised — you have been warned.""
