    Microsoft is working with our partners to ensure that 
    secured boot delivers a great security experience for
    our customers. 
I'm neither pro- nor con-UEFI (but I run Debian, so keep your fucking hands off my laptop), but the quoted sentence is awesome, big-company speak. Does anyone you know want a "great security experience"?

In real life, I came home tonight and my wife had locked the house door on the way out to a dinner meeting. I unlocked the door and went inside my house... I felt secure... But it turns out that I was missing something. I could have had a "great security experience" instead of being merely secure.

Thumbs up to the MS team for taking something that was taken for granted, diluting it, confusing it, simplifying the resulting abomination and declaring that they're delivering a "great security experience". I assume that the writer is a Republican in the Rick Perry mold? (1)

(1) I'm a registered [California] Republican and am mad as hell about the hijacking of my party, so I can make fun of our idiots without irony.
