Intel Provides Fix for Windows 8.1 Secure Boot Issue

Bleh, all the useless Microsoft bashing. Secure boot is an uefi feature, not a Windows feature, and Microsoft chose to implement it. There is no monopoly conspiracy going on.

Other than that I feel quite fucked too, because I don't have a secure boot option in my BIOS but still get the watermark. Tom's Hardware, thanks for the false hope.

You do know that microsoft pressured hardware manufacturers to include secureboot, right?

Obviously defective by design. Maybe its time to bring out resource hacker and modify your DLL resources.

That sheds a new light on the issue. But the feature was already there, part of the uefi specification? Then it's just a matter of speeding up the process (just in time for W8 no doubt).

About resource hacker, you have any idea what DLL contains the watermark data? Problem for Windows is probably that I have a SecureBoot capable bios, running on non-capable hardware (as far as I know).
