I cannot believe how paranoid some Linux users are. RedHat spreads FUD, and everybody is ready to scream bloody murder.
"there's no central certification authority for UEFI signing keys" How is this Microsoft's fault? Maybe companies like RedHat should have brought this up when spec was finalized.
Many spammers use rootkit infested machines to do their work, yet RedHat is upset that Microsoft is trying to combat this in future machines. Linux companies should work with OEMs on a plan. Microsoft is working within an industry standard and is not doing anything illegal. Period. End of story.
