The people that want to run OpenBSD or any other OS that doesn't support it don't buy that junk? I think the more interesting question is, if secure boot ever did become 'mandatory', what would it do to the used computer equipment market? I have a feeling that there will be alternatives to secure boot for a while if not forever. I for one will never buy anything that is secure boot only unless the 'secure boot' is something that I have complete control over. I would rather use a typewriter... -- John Merriam
