SecureBoot is not about security.  It is about restriction.
That is just untrue.  SecureBoot can be used to make sure you only run
the software you intended to run, which is impossible without
SecureBoot (e.g. this cannot be done with a TPM).  The idea is solid,
the technology is or can be made solid.
No.  The user is not in control here.  Microsoft is in control.

That's what we said in the working group. I'm not able to expand on that,
as working group conversations are under NDA, but suffice it to say that
argument didn't get us anywhere.
