I wouldn't be surprised if SB became "un-disable-able" in the next few
years. We'd then have to use an MS-signed shim to boot, as is now the

I am not worried. In a few years MS will be the go-daddy for getting SB
keys. Will give them to anybody with a working credit card number.
Today, if you want to run a web site, you have to pay the SSL certificate
tax, and nobody complains, everybody is happy.
Tomorrow, if you want to run your own linux kernels, you will have to
pay the SB-certificate tax, and it will be the same, nobody complains,
everybody is happy.
I'm not worried either although I wonder whether the USD 99 will
become a time-limited fee rather than a one-time one.
Retired on a fixed income sees $99 as a bloody lot of food I'd have
to do without.
