Security-focused people, like you and I, may appreciate the new security features introduced in Windows 8.1. In the opinion of Aryeh Goretsky [Distinguished Researcher at ESET], Windows 8 is "the most secure version of Microsoft Windows to date" (see http://go.eset.com/us/resources/white-papers/ESETNA_WP-Windows8-FUD.pdf ).
Unfortunately, some people (including several RockStars here) have condemned this practice, asserting that it prevents them from installing alternative operating systems. To which I reply, if you want to have Linux (or anything else) on your computer, you should buy it that way.
