| I think this is a great feature for the situation you describe just as long as
the owner of the system can customize Secure Boot by using their own security
keys. This should make the enterprise security you are talking about easier.
They use their own security key pair and only sign software they want to be
running on their systems.
If they are also given the option to disable
Secure Boot entirely then I don't see how it would be a problem even if my rosy
projection above is flawed.

Sounds great on paper, but if the machine
ever had Windows on it, wiping the disk and
reinstalling does not preclude the possibility
of a backdoor residing in the firmware somewhere.

Most businesses and government offices are still on the XP to 7 cycle. They
probably will not take notice for many years yet and skip 8 entirely. If this
experiment fails, no problem. There is still the expected flashback by
consumers and their supporting techs for MS and the others to deal with over
this change.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
