And you think that was an honest mistake?

Honest mistake or mischievous employee who knows...

MS have much bigger issues now... If I have understood this all correctly...
They supplied millions of low cost Windows licences to OEM's for low cost Tablets & STB's,
they thought that is was securely locked to allow only a Windows only upgrade path,
Now there are "potentially" millions & millions of opportunities to now put Linux on them.

In the "for what it`s worth department", some who may be concerned about switching from secure boot to legacy may find this of interest. Leave it to Microsoft.
