Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) firmware

[Alex]

Any comments on the "Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) 
firmware" and its ability to preclude booting from alternative operating 
systems such as Linux, BSD etc., would be greatly appreciated, as per 
article entitled "Windows 8 secure boot would 'exclude' Linux"
at

Thanks
Alex
