Re: Windows 8 is blocking Linux-based recovery environments It's really easy to disable, and even Microsoft has recommended times you have to disable it beyond the more logical reasons to disable it.
» [WIN8] Windows 8 with Secure Boot enabled may no longer boot aft
If you have to boot from outside media it's not unexpected to turn off secure boot.
I see overreaction in the article unless the motherboard in question didn't allow them to disable it. I can only guess that the next step would be to have to go as far as making a new partition, and making an entry in the bcd loader, however I don't want recovery software needing to make a recovery partition on my hdd, I would still rather boot from it externally.
