I don't know if you have seen this. Given that we're moving into UEFI
boot what are the workarounds to compensate for Microsoft's efforts to
exclude other operating systems from available hardware?
My opinion is that signed boot is probably on its way (despite not
actually offering much in the way of security, as the Apple Battery
hack has shown), and so we'll enter an era where you have the option
between a fully-signed system (Windows 9 / OS XI or so) or a cracked
boot, with little in the way of switching between the two, at least
initially
I know which one I'd pick if it came down to it :)
And you really need not worry about it, some geek (Torvalds?) will
surely find out a way.
Well, since I don't have or use M$'s junk, I guess I am OK then? I just
need to make sure any mobo I buy in the future either doesn't have this
or can be disabled?
Heck, if you didn't have to reboot windoze all the time, they wouldn't
need this. lol
