That article makes even less sense. It confuses UEFI secure boot with TPM and Bitlocker. Also claims UEFI secure boot makes things less secure by locking out other OSes. What?!
Can't find the link right now, but if I remember correctly, they backtracked on those claims about Windows 8 and made them more general about OSes. There is nothing in Windows 7 that makes it more secure or less vulnerable than Windows 8.
