Yep, I get the mobo logo too now, after I updated my BIOS to support Windows 8 UEFI. Thankfully, AsRock has a smallish green logo, and not a gigantic in-your-face logo.

Sadly, my graphics card (EVGA 680 GTX) doesn't support UEFI-GOP, so I can't do the ultra-fast boot option. According to their forums, EVGA plans on releasing an optional firmware upgrade to enable it in their 6xx lineup...

Oh! That explains why Surface displays the word "Surface" on the boot screen instead of the new Windows logo.

At least, that's what I've observed in videos... I don't have one (yet!).

Yea..even Samsung's Intel based Series 7 tablets (or w/e that tablet was that was given out at last year's build) does that.
