Microsoft yrittää pakko DRM:ää Windows 8:aan

Kuluttajan vapauden ja ihmiskunnan vapaus yritetään riistää lopullisesti.

In a new Microsoft blog, Building Windows 8, by Steven Sinofsky, Microsoft’s president of the Windows division, Linux isn’t mentioned, and he tries to place the blame on the UEFI security protocol. Behind all his dodging, the facts are that Microsoft UEFI secure boot is requirement for Windows 8 certification and that, while “OEMs [original equipment manufacturers) are free to choose how to enable this support," they still have to have it. In turn, that will make it harder for OEMs to support alternative operating systems and, if the OEM does bow down to Microsoft's demands, it will make it almost impossible for end-users to run Linux, older versions of Windows, or other alternative operating systems on Windows 8 certified PCs.

Jos vapaus kerran menetetään, sitä ei enää hankita helpolla takaisin. Ihmisten tulisi taistella nyt vapauksiensa puolesta tai tuomita sukunsa orjuuteen ikuisiksi ajoiksi. Jos superäly implementoituu Microsoftin kautta niin silloin ei ole tietä vapauteen vaan vain orjuuteen.
