I had been superficially looking at it 2 years ago. The primary concern is that it enables a process of signing prior to the bootloader. Hence any machine shipped with a signed os, will not be able to boot another os unless the signing keys are made available. This will most likely be the case with windows 8. Microsoft has stated that it will allow disabling of this feature at the bios level. However it is not very clear to me how they could achieve this. There is also the distinct possibility of locking out device driver upgrades and "uncertified" Windows software. _______________________________________________ network mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fosscom.in/listinfo.cgi/network-fosscom.in
