"Microsoft Secure Boot is a component of Microsoft's Windows 8 operating system that relies on the UEFI specification’s secure boot functionality to help prevent malicious software applications and "unauthorized" operating systems from loading during the system start-up process." »www.webopedia.com/TERM/M/microso···oot.html Interesting: More fun with Windows 8 UEFI, Secure Boot, Fedora and Ubuntu

therube join:2004-11-11 Randallstown, MD	So is it good that MS "protects" you in this way? No! It is 100% horse hockey! (My initial thought on reading this thread was, "isn't Microsoft & secure in the same sentence an oxymoron".) OK, OK, so maybe some Enterprise or whatever might want it, but for you or I, it is just more garbage.

OZO Premium join:2003-01-17 kudos:2	reply to slajoh01 Why I'd want to protect my computer from me, loading "unauthorized" (by m$) operating system? What if I need to backup the whole encrypted TC drive using some disk backup tool based on, as m$ says, "unauthorized" OS, or to run hardware test, using another "unauthorized" OS disk, or even to test-drive a new version of Linux or any other different from Windows 8 OS, or ... etc? Voluntary locking my computer from myself and allow it to boot only Windows 8 seems silly to me -- Keep it simple, it'll become complex by itself...
