+ Dear Andrew,<br>
+ Thankyou for the prompt reply. Unfortunately you didn't answer my
+ question about<br>
+ UEFI at all.<br>
+ I am asking about _all_ your Intel 2011 pin-out boards.<br>
+ I ask again, does your UEFI have a way to turn off secure boot?
+ Alternatively, have you<br>
+ set it up so it will only boot Microsoft software?<br>
+ Do you have any Intel 2011 boards with a UEFI where the user can
+ turn off secure<br>
+ boot? Which models?<br>
+ Thanks for your time<br>

+ We are looking at buying motherboards based on the Intel 2011

+ Dear Andrew,<br>
+ Thankyou for the prompt reply. Unfortunately you didn't answer my
+ question about<br>
+ UEFI at all.<br>
+ I am asking about _all_ your Intel 2011 pin-out boards.<br>
+ I ask again, does your UEFI have a way to turn off secure boot?
+ Alternatively, have you<br>
+ set it up so it will only boot Microsoft software?<br>
+ Do you have any Intel 2011 boards with a UEFI where the user can
+ turn off secure<br>
+ boot? Which models?<br>
+ Thanks for your time<br>
+ Regards,<br>
