Great.. so its a good thing then, because maybe IT people will realize its not even worth pirating Windows (well, actually they won't be able to). Then they just edit the BIOS setting and install Linux.
It stops an avenue of piracy sure, it also stops code injecting into the startup which is also cool. The fun bit is going to be all the disk encryption software that will take a hit when people migrate to 8 (unless it's signed).
