You shouldn't be so negative my brother.

You must have faith in the goodwill and intentions of Microsoft and the 
business sector.

To do otherwise is just being indicative of you requiring a lobotomy.

Walking up and down the main street in your neighbourhood while 
furiously twirling the tambourines and shouting, "Microsoft's UEFI is 
GREAT!" will provide you with 50 virgins - guaranteed! - when you 
self-destruct.
