Good luck with that! I've been thinking about replacing this computer
with something newer, so when I was in my local computer store
yesterday, I asked if they had any motherboards or systems that did
not have this UEFI/Microsoft crap installed. Nope. None. Nil. Zilch.
Nada. Ain't no such critter. All gone. It's hiding with Judge
Crater and Jimmy Hoffa. You get the message...
you should realize that UEFI has origin nothing to do
with Microsoft and secure boot, all my workstations
are supporting UEFI and are completly microsoft-free
and were even shipped with a HP branded Debian
Micorsoft is NOT in teh position to close the x86
market only for them because if the would try it
history repeats and these days the EU would be
the next killing their business in whole europe
