That's the concern with why I won't purchase hardware where you can't disable
UEFI. I own my computer and I get to decide what goes on it. Coincidently: I
decided MS code would never touch my current hardware - and it hasn't!
So
yea - other then the "it's a really, really bad idea to trust MS... and 2
"really"s is about a thousand reallys too short.... the owner is the one who has
the authority to decide what goes on the device. Anyone else attempting to
end-run that authority is trying to usurp control.
Instead of being a
market place where consumers decide whether or not they want to be a MS
customers, it's a forced marketplace where everyone is a MS customer whether
they want to be or not.
Imagine a market where MS gets to decide who is
trusted. Now instead of messing around with the code base to eliminate Netscape
from IE competition, they merely revoke the Netscape certificate.
Not the
kind of environment I want to be part of even if the anti-competition watchdogs
can't currently see the serious danger inherent in granting such a historically
bad performing enterprise with such responsibility.
