Quite the opposite: M$ rules for "secure" boot are:
* on x86 (or "non-ARM" in their wording) devices, it MUST be possible for
users to disable "secure" boot,
* on ARM devices, it MUST NOT be possible for users to disable "secure"
boot,
i.e. all ARM devices shipping Window$ will have restricted boot forced on
with no option to disable it.
And at the moment there are exactly 0 devices shipping windows 8 on arm.
There are no such rules for other oses such as Android, those are the
devices I was referring to, I did say above that BIOS locked are a non
starter already!
