I once disabled Secure Boot by swapping out the mainboard, and Windows
didn't care about that, either.  Curiously, the previous mainboard
(which had Secure Boot enabled) was bricked by a firmware update gone
wrong, precisely the thing the UEFI security architecture should
prevent (through firmware signing).  And with the new mainboard,
Secure Boot came back after a firmware update (luckily, because I
needed it for interop testing).
