If these informations are correct then both are not respecting
Microsoft's "rules": Microsoft requirements for standard desktop
computers bearing the Windows 8 logo say that Secure Boot can be
disabled.
Since 4 weeks a big German OEM (Medion) for the mass market offers a
PC with UEFI, where UEFI is disabled by default. The MoBo is a
MSI-Mainboard MS-7800. The PC comes with Windows 7 and an upgrade
option for Windows 8.

The only architecture Microsoft demands a UEFI which can't be disabled
is the ARM architecture.
Personally I must admit that I never thought that SuSE nor Fedora
would spread Microsoft FUD. Still they do.
Mageia should not pay any attention.
