First, Microsoft previously had required that manufacturers make SecureBoot and UEFI optional; indications from their statements so far is that now they're leaving that up to the manufacturer. Speculation is that some will take that as the opportunity to bake both into new firmware. Secondly, Microsoft *has* stated that any machines that are to run Win10 *must* run SecureBoot. The final issue is that to date, it's been required to allow users to manage the keys used for SecureBoot, adding their own as they deem fit. Currently, it's unclear if that requirement will stand. I wouldn't get too stressed just yet--it's early days, and M$ is being (as usual) unclear on what its final decisions will be when they finally release Win10. Of course, I expect the worst, but I'm a professional pessimist. There's a good reason for that--beyond decades of experience. If you're an optimist, you're always disappointed. If you're a pessimist, you're rarely disappointed, and sometimes pleasantly surprised.
