As for now Microsoft requires all W8 certified systems with secure boot to allow secure boot to be switched off by user/sysadmin. One reason why I do not understand the reason why all these people (Garret et all) are stumbling all over themselves to solve a problem which is not even sure to ever come by. IMHO Mageia is good to send out the signal that Mageia will face that issue when it's due time. -- wobo
