Yes, it is certanly a bad news but on other hand the DOS support is minimal even today and we have no reason to upgrade DOS machine to more robust hardware than lets say Pentium III class computer because it is more than sufficient power for DOS programs.

I think that UEFI secure boot will be only on notebooks but on desktops will be BIOS much more configurable. Notebooks are for teenagers and as we say in Czech rep. for BFUs (in english: JOU - Johny, ordinary user). Desktops are for productive people and for people interested in computers.
On desktops we will use Coreboot with SeaBIOS module and everything will work.
