Well, I dont drink the MS cool-aid...
so I wont spend a minute worrying about that crap.

the &quot;secure boot&quot; crap is a vendor lock-in thought up by MS disguised
as a security feature so they can &quot;own&quot; your hw and tell you what you
can and cannot run...

sure, it can currently be disabled... but as soon as people start
accept this there will soon be a &quot;Secure Boot v2&quot; mandating it
be enabled all the time, and those that want complete freedom will
be screwed as MS gets in a position to control what can boot on your
system...

We are promoting freedom and open source, not MS crap.

So the time to speak up is _now_ and fight this vendor lock-in.
