That's interesting. When Intel was developing speech hardware one of the FAEs was given a Ford Thunderbird with speech enabled to 'try out'. When ever you were driving faster than 55[1] it would say about once every 10 seconds "Speed limit exceeded!" The FAE decided that maybe speech wasn't everything it was cracked up to be :-).
In this case there is a valid use case for not having secure boot enabled, but I can see where Microsoft might not recognize any of them as the 'general case.' Another step in the process of appliancizing computers into application platforms.
[1] At the time federal law stated that no speed limit could be higher than 55 MPH so exceeding 55 was by definition 'speeding' anywhere in the US.
