Er. What's your point? This whole thread started from a rather extensive
guide to installing Fedora on UEFI which I wrote. We're now discussing
rather pie-in-the-sky stuff that doesn't have much to do with what you
posted.
Sure it does. In a way. Whenever UEFI is mentioned there is a panic in
the ranks. Windows!! Windows!! Microsoft!! Microsoft!!
Which is crap. There is no real problem. You need to fix the conspiracy
crap. Fix it? Or live/die with it.
