It's not (U)EFI which is the problem, it's the "secure boot".
AAAhhh!! NOW I think I understand!......
You can boot Fedora 18 with (U)EFI and secure boot turned on, of
course. Because the Fedora kernel and programs are signed with a
Fedora key, which itself is signed by M$.
If you want to have "old-style" Fedora, you'll have to turn off secure
boot.
Sorry for my maybe stupid question but why there must my Microsoft's key
on motherboard and not Fedora's one? Why Linux vendors don't intend to
install theirs keys to revers the situation so that Microsoft would have
to sign the keys? Or maybe keys from M$ and Fedora could coexist?

My thoughts EXACTLY! It would seem that the Open Source Community should
have their OWN UEFI / key / signing process that eliminates Microsoft
from the equation altogether! I for one would (and already DO!) donate
and support different projects within the community and would LOVE to
see something like this take off......the less "mingling" of Linux and
Microsoft the better!
