Re: Linux Foundation UEFI Secure Boot Key Delays Explained UEFI boot is new DRM protection for the proprietary OS, foisted into PC world by Microsoft Co. It's a new "Genuine Advantage Verification Plus" tool if you will, now running on boot level. Of course, they market it as it's for your protection (do you expect anything less then that?), while in reality, it's for the OS protection from any user modifications. No more and no less. Do you really need that protection from you and give the keys from your computer to that company? You have to decide...

Tallahassee, FL | said by OZO:UEFI boot is new DRM protection for the proprietary OS, foisted into PC world by Microsoft Co. Not quite. Secure boot is a security tool.
Microsoft has simply hoisted it through their certification program as a way for getting PC manufacturers to lock out competitors on the machines they sell.

kudos:2 | I agree with you. Secure Boot is the main problem, that I see here, not the UEFI itself.
