[edit source]Secure Boot is not a product. Might be best to use Microsoft to discuss issues with secure boot. Otherwise, this page is irrelevant. Beanie Bo (talk) 01:38, 19 October 2025 (UTC)
- I agree that secure boot may not be a product (I think it is a specification, which various products implement). However it is very much relevant to the wiki. Certainly Microsoft makes sense to have connections to it, but its importance goes well beyond that. (Impacts Linux, Xenix, OS/2, ...)
- This should probably be a Theme article. (Or possibly part of a theme article.)
- Secure boot is just one instance of a technology. Consider bootloader locking on cellphones. This is another implementation of the same idea. In microcontrollers there are various techniques for controlling the startup process (blowing a link so the firmware can not be changed, etc.)
- Many consoles have software to prevent users running outside operating systems on them - same thing.
- Jailbreaking is an example of a response to secure boot type things. Drakeula (talk) 01:04, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
