>One man's root kit is another man's Linux kernel. Not really. More like ninety nine men's root is one man's kernel based on marketshare of Linux. > Windows 8 may boot on untrusted hardware, but will it play rented movies, work with Office 365, run apps from Microsoft's store, etc? If Windows on untrusted hardware will not be a second-class citizen, why would Microsoft bother with secure boot? What has this got to do with anything? That will exclude Windows 7 PCs with no EFI and thus MS will lose customers who would otherwise rent movies, buy Office 365, buy apps from MS store.
