I have a legitimate issue with this as well.
I just bought a Dell Latitude 10 with the intended purpose of trying out ubuntu's more touch friendly features on my new atom 32bit processor.

As all dells now come with EFI instead of BIOS i'm suck until the 32bit Grub is adapted to support EFI.

I can get the 64bit ISO on a thumbdrive to be recognized by the Dell Latitude 10 inch tablet.
But when I select it to boot, it just goes to windows.

I can also get the 32bit ISO on a thumbdrive to be recognized by the Dell Latitude 10 inch tablet.

I believe this is an issue with Ubuntu's lack of EFI support on their 32bit ISO, and Also intels lack of Legacy support on their new Tablet.

Is there a beta version we can begin testing?

Does anyone know if you can turn off EFI on the Dell Latitude 10?

The Latitude 10 is the cheapest tablet with an intel atom processor. It seems an ideal candidate for pushing this bug up to the front.
