This is mystifying because it directly contradicts the Microsoft Windows
hardware certification requirements, which require that to get the made for
Windows 8 certification, the hardware must be UEFI, must implement Secure Boot,
must have it enabled by default (except servers), and must have a Microsoft key
included. It also requires a user chooseable option to disable Secure Boot on
x86, but not ARM.
