Bottomley: Owning your Windows 8 UEFI Platform

A lot of operating systems completely ignore the bios once they've loaded. That to me, seems a pretty sensible and simple approach. Works fine.

The only thing that UEFI has in its favour is that it does provide protection against root kits - if done properly. Given the mess that is usually done, what's the betting we start getting rot-kits that exploit the UEFI real soon now ...

Cheers,
