> I did not say Secure Boot causes this, Here's what you said: > Hear my fucked up story of UEFI, Secure Boot and Windows 8: Why mention Secure Boot at all?

  It is a story about all of them, I did not say Secure Boot caused this problem, I said I disabled it to be able to install Windows 7.

    > It is a story about all of them, I did not say Secure Boot caused this problem, I said I disabled it to be able to install Windows 7. Suppose that a user buys a Windows 8 machine, goes to a website, and downloads malware that slows down the machine and makes it unusable. Finally, a local teenager wipes the machine, disables Secure Boot, and installs Windows 7. One would hardly say that this is a "f-cked up story of" malware, Secure Boot, and Windows 8. Secure Boot is merely incidental, and has nothing to do with the issue of malware on Windows 8.
