#7What's wrong with agreeing to the EULA?
I shouldn't have to agree to a contract for an OS I don't care to use in order to boot into the OS of my choice. Nor should I have to read the thing in order to see what I'm agreeing to just to boot into the OS of my choice.
Make no mistake, I have not been one of the hand-wringers over this whole secure boot thing. But this recent development could turn me into one.

It isn't the keyboard that is the problem, it is that the USB bus the keyboard is on won't be initialized.
