6 My opinion is that signed boot is probably on its way (despite not
7 actually offering much in the way of security, as the Apple Battery
8 hack has shown), and so we'll enter an era where you have the option
9 between a fully-signed system (Windows 9 / OS XI or so) or a cracked
10 boot, with little in the way of switching between the two, at least
11 initially
12
13 I know which one I'd pick if it came down to it :)
