I'm curious about other differences that might occur while you're
running the system in the non-secured mode. Are we going to find that
bank sites can detect your running mode, and refuse access, for
instance?

if the menu can be reached to disabled secure boot. Apparently on
windows 8 computers, BIOS/UEFI menu will be removed, and to access
the UEFI settings needs to be within windows. so i read.

Those two quoted URIs would seem to be completely unrelated to my query,
which isn't about changing settings, but detecting the current mode of
operation.
I'm concerned whether you're going to be locked out because you're not
in their preferred mode, just like various dumb sites excluded Netscape,
or particular versions of browsers, or browsers on particular operating
systems, or because you were rejecting third-party cookies, or another
damn fool reason that's got little relation to real security.
Was only pointing out MS will make it more difficuit to chage
settings in the UEFI like disabling secure boot on
Windows 8 systems. So uesrs who want to run other non-windows OS
may have a hard time accessing the UEFI
settings.:-)
