Those fears will be reasonable when most computers will not allow disabling Secure boot. Right now that's not the case for x86.

- skohan 5y agoIt's perfectly reasonable to be skeptical of the measures being put in place which would make this possible, especially given MS's history. To give an analogy, there might have been a time in East Berlin where people could have said: "It's fine that they check papers before crossing into West Germany. Your fears will be reasonable when they no longer permit entry."
