News Microsoft blocks Linux from Windows 8 ARM hardware

the current version is nowhere near a finished version, it isn't even a beta version yet, it is a preview, many of the fucntions will change between the current preview and the beta, and thenbetween the beta and rtm

 

Please look beyond! do you think the companies will stop there? they will increase their blockings and force you to pay more and more once and again giving you less in return every time. Would you be happy if tomorrow we tell you that ballots are technically modified to only accept republican votes now on? that any other votes are unable to be processed... it is the same. This is freaking ridiculous and just makes me hate MS, not because of the Open source, but because this is plain evil. period.

 

they can still build windows 8 tablets without secure boot, but they wouldnt be certified by microsoft, so no use of windows/microsoft logos

 

Actually, it runs very fast.

As I said... "at present".
If it was released right now, it would be the next Vista.

 

windows is like buying a screwdriver with a screw limit of 16 screws
after that you need to pay 900 eu a month to keep screwing with it
