Hi,<br>Just an article that hasn't been brought up on this list yet:<br>On the msdn blog it says that <br>"...we designed the firmware to allow the customer to disable secure boot...OEMs are free to choose how to enable this support..."<br>
<a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/09/22/protecting-the-pre-os-environment-with-uefi.aspx" target="_blank">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/09/22/protecting-the-pre-os-environment-with-uefi.aspx</a><br>
<br>Note that it never says OEMs are required to enable this support. <br>
