> What? Which OS refuses to boot when you disable Secure Boot?

The one which was installed with secure boot enabled. My reading is the OS will prevent forward progress when it notices secure boot was bypassed when it expected it to be on. Never tried this myself - I'm likely misinformed.

> Exactly which UEFI Secure Boot does.

And apparently optional, and not something every machine implements, which was the subject of a LOT of stories a year back. Did this ever get resolved as being mandatory, and/or did all UEFI providers figure it was best practice in the end?
