The funny thing is that many of the same people you talk about were vehemently against UEFI Secure Boot on Windows 8 being on by default although it actually protects tens of milli…

So between you and me, we uncovered more than the entire Finnish press with a few minutes of web searching? This is looking more and more like a thread in /r/conspiracy. Anyway, I …
