I can see large enterprises wanting to implement a policy that only kernels signed by the enterprise can be used. From my understanding , the UEFI Secure Boot process combined with the SUSE extensions would allow that to be done.

- perhaps, if it were possible to load VirtualBox [for M$] on company hardware, then supposedly, it would be possible to run Linux upon that instance of VirtualBox??
I do not see myself doing the development work I do inside a virtual machine. If nothing else, our applications use hardware that would make all this very complicated. It is hard enough to get some of it running on Linux when that is the only part of the equation. Possible != probable. We also package openSUSE as PXE-loadable diskless images that run in remote computers. I wonder how thing will work for that if we find ourselves wanting to run this type of thing on a UEFI box.
