* Alex:
Any comments on the "Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)
firmware" and its ability to preclude booting from alternative
operating systems such as Linux, BSD etc., would be greatly
appreciated, as per article entitled "Windows 8 secure boot would
exclude' Linux"
It seems to me that this technology was pioneered on Android devices
(which tend to lock out alternative operating systems, not just custom
kernels).
