If the OEM /ODM includes Canonical's keys, then Ubuntu can be installed on
these devices. The other option is to provide a setup utility to add keys
for other operating systems (like Ubuntu) etc. The latter option is the
more viable solution and the decision rests on the OEM/ODM.
Nope. Microsoft has made it: MANDATORY: Disabling Secure MUST NOT be
possible on ARM systems.
This is assumingly the platform Ubuntu was looking for. So, does that mean
Microsoft just killed all the possibilities of ARM-based Ubuntu Tablets?
Again, depends on the manufacturers. I would assume that locking down a
Windows tablet is the way manufacturers will go, but allowing more keys to
be added to the BIOS will also allow Android, Tizen, Ubuntu etc. to be
installed on these devices.
That's what M$ is saying to NOT ALLOW exactly that.
