>MS is at fault for pushing this whole system. Whether Linux distros could or not join the system is a red herring. What?! Pushing UEFI, which isn't their design, which has been used by Apple and other for years, or pushing secure boot? Secure Boot is a damned good idea, and whilst IANAL it appears that for a windows sticker you MUST allow it to be switched off. So its Microsoft are in fact pressuring OEMs to ensure that people can run other OS's on their kit (except ARM). What this is about is how the other OS's can get the benefit of SecureBoot, well, if they can't get their act together as I mentioend above, why should they fuss that someone else gets SecureBoot. Lets be hoenst too, most people who need such simple "mum proof protection" are on Windows anyway.
