RitanaHere's Microsoft's plan: Every new PC sold with Windows 8 will be locked up tight with Microsoft's UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) secure boot on. Microsoft says that this is to help secure your PCs from rootkits and malware. It also happens to stop you from easily installing Linux or any other operating system, such as Windows 7 or XP, on a Windows 8 system. Thanks Microsoft. We really needed that kind of protection!

Ez gyönyörű. mondhatom ! Nem sok lehetőséggel kecsegtet a cikk szerzője sem:
1. Hope that the OEMs will simply let you disable Secure Boot during the pre-boot up. If they do, then installing Linux on a Windows 8 PC won't be much harder than it is today on Windows 7 systems. This will not, however, be an option on Windows RT ARM-powered systems.
2. Use a Linux, like Fedora, that provides a Secure Boot compatible key using Microsoft's own Windows 8 signing tools
3. Use a Linux, like Ubuntu, that provides its own Secure Boot compatible key.
4. Avoid Windows 8 systems entirely and use open hardware instead.
