Being a bit critical, I'm not sure if the aim really is to block out Linux.
As the number of people using Linux on the desktop is still practically irrelevant for MS to care, I probably do buy their point about it helping to keep malware from getting a stronghold on the system.
On the other hand, they're locking down Metro too.

Hopefully mobo manufactures will be smart enough to allow signed booting to be disabled.
