That's true. I was a dev in Windows though. I wasn't privy to any memorable internal discussions about secure boot.

Anyway, I'm just saying I'm not a kneejerk windows or ms hater, which I think I read as in discussions like this.

I also am not a blind MS hater or supporter. I probably do often give MS too much leeway for a lot of things where more skeptical people would basically instantly dismiss it. I guess I just try to make the best out of what is given me.

I think it was a leaked email from Bill Gates around when UEFI or Secure Boot was becoming a thing. I wasn't able to find it after searching for a while though.

Back in the day the euphemism was "trustworthy computing". That may be a good thing to Google to find those emails. I remember then too. Another name was "palladium"
