Reset. Problem? :)
$hilling a triple reset
Nope.
As I've said before, to MS this is nothing to do with Linux, it's about improving security.
Even though I'm in favour of secure boot, I'd like to see switches to disable it become either required or present in the majority of UEFI. It will be interesting to how long it will take for LILO to...
This is not just going to effect Windows security; it will actually improve the security of any operating system running on the computer.
A virus needs to make certain assumptions about your...
Comparing Linux to a car doesn't make it immune to criticism because it's a bloody operating system, not a car.
Uh, yes it does, and there's a lovely new feature in Windows 8 called "reset to factory settings". I'm not going to dispute your point that Secure Boot will allow OEMs and Microsoft to have some...

Why would the licensed need to be changed when there is already a fully functional Linux boot loader that is BSD-licensed?

Secure Boot definitely doesn't threaten the entire world technologically, since there will be an option to disable Secure Boot and BSD-licensed boot loaders will not be effected.
When you use Google, it is more like someone using a highly modified and proprietary version of Linux for you rather than you using it yourself.

If someone is using Windows because it came with their computer, what ideology are they following?
osht- I'll have to wait till tomorrow. :(
Including offline computers will not change the percentage by much because there will be computers with other operating systems installed that are not connected to the 'net.
RSS is very convenient, I love it. Liferea is good but just a bit too slow.
Of course, it isn't GPL at fault for not allowing signed code, it's Microsoft's fault, because they are out to get Linux.
