Is secure boot really gone stop any malware? It will surly make it harder for anyone else to use a different OS. I mean malware is really a huge problem but isn't the majority of it, not related to bootloader.

Is it really that hard to go into the bios settings to change a setting? Already most people who want to boot a different OS have to do that to change the boot order to boot from DVD first.

Except MS specified that's not allowed on certified ARM devices.
