jacky.alc...@thesii.org wanted to share this with you:
Guys, this is some scary stuff. If (and us knowning Microsoft, it will) this
gets through, it'd be impossible to boot Linux, and in turn, the WintermuteOS.
This is something I was looking at on this site before and on DarkReading, but
I didn't really think Microsoft would pull through with it. I, personally, will
start looking at the Grub project and seeing what I can do to help and
circumvent this danger..
Windows 8 OEM specs may block Linux booting

After years of trying to cut off Linux growth as a desktop platform on x86 and
x64 PCs, Microsoft may have actually figured out a way to stop Linux
deployments on client PCs dead in their tracks.
