I am not worried. In a few years MS will be the go-daddy for getting SB keys. Will give them to anybody with a working credit card number. Today, if you want to run a web site, you have to pay the SSL certificate tax, and nobody complains, everybody is happy. Tomorrow, if you want to run your own linux kernels, you will have to pay the SB-certificate tax, and it will be the same, nobody complains, everybody is happy.
