Hi all,
Bit of an interesting one here:
By now some of you will have heard that Microsoft has leaked what's being called a golden key relating to its secure boot process. For those that haven't, essentially, on newer UEFI based computers that are prebuilt & the Surface RT tablets you're unable to boot anything that hasn't been signed by Microsoft. On normal laptops & desktops you're usually able to just turn it off in the UEFI but obviously this presents accessibility issues for us.
I'm not going to post any links as I'm assuming that this is a bit of a grey area legally & replies off list about how to do it will respectfully go unanswered, but suffice to say that after a bit of Googling I was able to download a script that disabled secure boot for me on a computer where it was enabled which allowed me to boot a talking PE disk. The script is kicked off within Windows and the process is more or less fully accessible. My understanding is that MS are pushing out updates that try to stop the tool from working but at the time of writing they appear not to be overly effective.
Obviously if we look at the bigger picture, in terms of security this is a *huge* issue. Never the less, for us, it is a small, all be it unintended win in terms of accessibility.
Have fun, Ben.
