Microsoft requires that Secure Boot can be disabled by the user, but only on x86. On ARM, the exact opposite is true: Microsoft requires that Secure Boot cannot be disabled by the user.
For now, this doesn't really matter, but the situation may change if/when Windows on ARM becomes a serious platform.

- kbolino 14y agoPlenty of people have voiced objection to the lockdown of mobile devices by other vendors. The reason for this particular fooferaw, I think, is the misconception that this will apply to x86. It was my goal to clear that up, not to specifically endorse Microsoft-bashing.
