no, there won't be a process to turn off UEFI, that makes no sense. UEFI
is not a turnoffable thing. The Secure Boot feature that does not yet
exist in the wild needs to have a facility to allow the user to manage
the keys they want to trust.
you HP Guy will have big problems in the coming months. I fear
Microsoft is trying to lockout Linux from installing on new machine.
yes, they are, but not yet. These current machines are fully working,
the factory-bricked machines are not yet available, and won't be until
they come shipped with Windows 8. If someone says they have a machine
with Windows 7 on it that they can't install Ubuntu on then that is a
bug in Ubuntu, not the impending secure boot problem.
