I know only very limited stuff about this, but I thought that this 
was mainly to check that copies of windows were 'non-pirated', and 
has come under some criticism that they might be able to exclude 
some from running linux OS's ...

At any rate, my laptop motherboard, (and those of my friends), 
don't
use the UEFI.

My concern is, how vulnerable (in the 'real world' for my limited 
threat model, and non-UEFI motherboards), is it to run gnupg from a 
usb and an Ubuntu install disk, when booting bypasses the 
harddrive's mbr altogether, even considering known bios rootkit 
infections?

(or are we drifting into really OT waters already?  ;-)  )
