Always the first to jump to Microsoft's defense when they bribe motherboard vendors to sabotage Linux.
I'm not surprised to see you jump up and start attacking people who claim Secure Boot is what it is, a ploy to lock people into using Windows and OS X.
Maybe this is because your employer doesn't care if Joe Everyone can go out and buy a PC to boot Linux on. Red Hat can probably get a signing key for whatever they decide to ship or certify RHEL on, but a guy that gets a PC with an expensive placeholder like Windows will be screwed.

It's frankly amazing that Red Hat tolerates you.
