1. If you disable secure boot to be able to run Linux will Windows 8 still boot?
2. If Windows 8 will boot will it play protected content while secure boot is disabled or are all your multimedia purchases from Windows Store or other DRM sources inaccessible until you turn secure boot back on?
3. If you do not disable secure boot, but instead insert your own key will that erase secure key storage by default and thus remove Microsoft's key?
4. How complicated is to sign Linux kernel which you have compiled?
5. How does secure boot affect projects like linux from scratch, Hirens Boot CD, etc?
