They hit > the panic button too soon IMHO. Press Delete/F1 during boot, select Advanced -> Trusted Computing. Change TCG/TPM Support to "No". But according to Cory Doctorow, that's far too finicky and highly technical (http://boingboing.net/2012/05/31/lockdown-freeopen-os-maker-p.html)! By the way it's not Microsoft's stuff people would have to break, but UEFI. I think secure boot actually makes sense, but preventing users disabling it or installing their own keys on ARM platforms is totally wrong. -- Bruce Cran
