I've been watching it too -- irritated now that Microsoft has strong-armed manufacturers into UEFI ultimately having some level of say in what I do with hardware that isn't even running software from Microsoft.

Unbelievable.

However, manufacturers can still sell hardware without it. (and I'm sure they can sell a identical hardware set that lacks UEFI)

But also, can't nVidia get its drivers signed so they can run in the kernel?
