Doesn't matter if it's signed code. I still turned off Secure Boot on my T430. It is rare that I have ever gotten malware, much less any that execute code at boot. Boot-sector virii died off in the late 90s.<p>Make no doubt about it; this is just another monopolistic implementation of restrictive technology by Microsoft.
I'm not 100% sure what this means. I remember hearing a lot of rabble rabble a few months back about Microsoft placing some roadblocks on hardware that would make it more difficult to install Linux on machines.<p>Does this mean this is now a non-issue?<p>Thanks in advance.
Meanwhile Ubuntu's Wubi-based installer is rendered useless since the Windows 8 bootloader won't load it (nor will it load anything except Windows apparently if SecureBoot is enabled).
