Thank you very much. > > Arnt Well, that's not true: If you are lucky, your vendor installed a bios that allows you seamingly do so. But most likely he didn't. Most likely his implementation has a backdoor for windows. You'll need to see his contracts with M$ to verify this. Sometimes somebody down the sales lane will give you some hints, but don't count on it. Sure, vendor sell crappy firmware, nothing new there. You have the same problem with any firmware, this is in no way limited to UEFI. It is also pretty easy to test for: Remove the Microsoft key and boot a Windows install CD. If that still boots, then the UEFI implementation sucks and you should complain to your vendor. I never had that happen though. Best Regards, Tobias
