I'm just going to put my fingers in my ears and not listen to anything anyone might say (write) that gets close to excusing the current situation or defending Secure Boot! As such: Secure Boot is just another lame attempt by Microsoft to slow down/control the competition; they are abusing their position on the market once again, like they did in the past, like they will do in the future. This is their way, "the wolf changes its coat, but not the disposition". This shows that now more than ever Microsoft is shitting their pants because of Linux/Android/Google/Ubuntu/RHEL/LibreOffice/FOSS SQL/etc; they are slowly but surely losing the war, they are losing market share on every front. The way things are now in 10-15 years I bet they will no longer have the 90% of PCs share they have today, but Secure Boot might give them some help. I can already imagine mr. Ballmer rubbing his hands in satisfaction: "oh, nice, we'll have the keys to all PC hardware". My advice: do not buy Microsoft, do not buy hardware on which Secure Boot cannot be disabled. We _must not_ have all PC hardware controlled by a single company - it is just stupid. And of all systems they chose CA? Really? After the epic way it failed time and again in the SSL cert industry - think Komodo or DigiNotar. Not to mention keys given to USA and other governments that will be able to easily install malware and other crap to control the "sheep" (the germans already have some "official" trojans lol). This is madness people.
