>surface systems, the arm ones with the locked boot loader, not surface pro, I guess you mean Surface RT. There is no "surface systems". >For now, and a requirement that was only added after Microsoft went ahead with requiring secure boot when people complained. They already distribute fully locked down systems, is it such a stretch to believe they will permit, or even mandate it in the future for x86? Sorry, but a thought crime is not a crime. That someone may or may not do something illegal in the future does not imply they should be prevented from doing something legal today. >Anti-bootkit security does not imply UEFI Secure Boot where Microsoft controls the only key on every x86 PC of consequence. Perhaps you have a better solution to prevent undetectable bootkits. My grandmom has a higher chance of getting a bad virus than wanting to install Haiku OS on her computer. I don't wish that her and hundreds of millions of other's PCs are left vulnerable to undetectable bootkits because a few people somewhere can't be bothered to uncheck a checkbox in order to install GNU/Hurd or because Microsoft may send thugs in the future to delete my Ubuntu install.
