Don't think it's that off-topic, since a lot of us may have to deal
with it eventually to get Fedora working.

FWIW, on a BIOS / NON-UEFI system Win8 + F16 are working okay (Win8
installed after Fedora and then reinstalled grub2). You also get to
decide which is worse: Metro or Gnome shell. (Metro in my opinion, and
the reasons for that probably are completely off-topic.)
