[GTALUG] UEFI, it's an open standard

[Scott Sullivan]

... understand it's not evil, just some of it's implementers are.

The subject of UEFI carries a lot of FUD around it because of some nasty 
moves on Microsofts part in how it 'certifies' windows hardware, but not 
of that has to do with the Standards. That's just someone else policy on 
top of its mechanisms.

This came up as an after meeting discussion from Chris Tyler's talk this 
month.

Please read the article before making snap reply to this (I did it over 
a few bus rides, it's not short. But a heck of a lot short then the 
actual standards docs).
