When I talked to Linus Torvalds he said that Secure Boot is a good
thing, but can be used in a bad ways. That's proving to be true.
When Microsoft published The Certification Requirements for Windows 8 it
was evident that the company wanted to use the secure boot to lock Linux
out of such hardware, thus creating a Windows only hardware. The
discovery lead to a strong protest from the FLOSS community. Microsoft
allowed the non-ARM hardware to be able to run Linux if the hardware
vendors chooses to allow that. But as we saw the arrival of ARM on
desktop Microsoft "wasted no time in revising its Windows Hardware
Certification Requirements to effectively ban most alternative operating
systems on ARM-based devices that ship with Windows 8."
