Locked to bootloaders signed with the Microsoft key, not _necessarily_ to
Windows, right?

So then basically there's no REAL way to get a "modern" PC / laptop WITHOUT this
UEFI on it? Right? And the only way to be able to iunstall/boot another OS would
be to turn the UEFI off....but without the proper key....that is impossible?
Just trying to understand what this means when it's time for me to upgrade my
laptop....would like to know that I can install the latest version of Fedora
without any problems or issues hardware-wise.

That is why I like my unique to the machine key that is supplied to the
user along with the board serial number. So he can make changes. But the
changes for his system cannot affect other systems. That would make
custom signed Linux kernels possible for a person testing kernel builds
or compiling in obscure filesystems, such as I do from time to time.
