<HTML><BODY><p style='margin-top: 0px;' dir="ltr">The below is not true based on what I *think* I know. Sabayon was (they claim) the first to boot with a secure image and they do it with a self signed cert. Now if hardware MFG don't allow for that, THEN the run of the mill distribution will be in trouble. Nothing (directly) to do with MS at all. And if windows does not want to dual boot, then don't. Rather boot withe two SEPARATE disks and use UEFI bios to boot the appropriate OS. </p>

Microsoft's good graces to sign their bootloader with Microsoft's key.<br>
Should Microsoft one day decide it has no desire to do that then that<br>
locks out many systems that did not provide the kill switch for Secure<br>
Boot or the ability to add personal signing keys.<br>
