  From this post, written by Microsoft: > Microsoft does not mandate or control the settings on PC firmware that control or enable secured boot from any operating system other than Windows

    Yes, thanks, that's a good summary. Since the conversation from yesterday (with 137 comments) was voted pretty highly, I assumed that this submission was related, and the previous one would offer interesting additional discussion. I'm sorry if it was inappropriate to link to. By offering it, I was in no way advocating a particular point of view, even though I quoted the title of the HN submission, which does put forth a hypothesis. If it's appropriate to delete my comment, let me know.

      Microsoft responded to accusation: http://www.winrumors.com/microsoft-clears-up-linux-confusion-over-windows-8-secure-boot-feature/ http://www.winrumors.com/microsoft-clears-up-linux-confusion... I've submitted that link to HN.

        That's just a summary of the blog post that this thread is about, and IMO it's inaccurate; to me Sinofsky's post seems to confirm everything Garrett wrote.
