'Secure' boot: much to be scared about
- secure boot cannot be disabled for ARM processors
- secure boot can kill a machine
- malware changes a system file
- control not security
Remember, this company is not known for playing nice. Maybe Luke should have said to Yoda, "I'm not afraid of secure boot." And Yoda reply would have been "But you will be."
Perhaps the correct term is restrictive booting. Like the article said it's nothing of about security and everything about restricting the hardware.
Can you just imagine what the world would look like if Microsoft hadn't missed the tablet/smart phone start? They could be a major sue-er like Apple.
