Well there will be some incentives for the manufacturers who do NOT support SecureBoot: they will get a better share on the market than their current one.

Sadly, that isn't enough. For everyone who understands how UEFI limits their freedoms, there is a dozen people who will say "look! shiny!".

Idiots will always outnumber smart people. Microsoft relies on that.

Well the 4% share (or more) of future linux users who need a reliable Linux-PC is not so small if you consider the potential number of clients.

Surely some will take advantage of this situation, if everyone else rushes to have SecureBoot.
