This might not be what you're actually looking for, but I just set up a new laptop, and after a week of trying to get it to dual boot (UEFI, eh?) decided to run Linux in VMWare under Windows instead. I've got to say, Windows+VMWare makes a darn good hardware abstraction layer, which means I don't need to worry nearly so much about crappy driver stuff.

I agree. I've used both vmware and virtualbox, and they both provide good options to running linux under windows. Since most of my linux work is server type work, it works out pretty well.
