this is just an attempt for microsoft to protect their software so only their software can be installed on computers in the name of security. no more dual booting computers. you buy a computer with windows on it you will have only windows forever on that computer. all in the name to make up for their defective os. I betcha those computers with this cruff enabled will be drastically discounted over the ones that aren't. I think this will lead to class action lawsuits personally. |

Dunno about the USA, but I'm sure Neelie Kroes will have a few words to say about this. |

I'm sure Neelie Kroes will have a few words to say about this. I've never liked a lady so sight-unseen or never-met in my life. h |

What does Microsoft have to do with the Linux kernel dev team? |

Microsoft want exclusive control/use of the DRM hardware keys, either doling them out or having the ability to use them. They want to make sure that booting other OS's is as difficult as possible. That way, when the BIOS loads the boot blocks, they must be "certified" as "safe"; same for the OS stages loaded by the boot blocks. Never mind "Trusted Computing." This is indeed "Treacherous Computing." |
