is this true

[David Vincent]

What would it really take? Probably a small Linux utility to generate 
the right keys and then a BIOS utility to import them off a USB drive, 
much like my ASUS motherboard BIOS reads BIOS updates.

I'm not too worried at this point.

I understand why Microsoft wants to do this, and it makes sense - for them.

It could create a new class of workstations for business which come with 
this UEFI feature in the BIOS much like the TPM chips while regular 
grey-box systems don't get it. I could see this as an option businesses 
would pay for.
