(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I was reading the hacker new magazine issue 5 of october 2011, and they were talking about some of the new features in windows 8 the main one that caught my eye was:

"Windows 8 is going to screw Linux by preventing Linux
dual boots and installs. Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)
firmware specifications would mean PCs would only boot from a digitally
signed image derived from a keychain rooted in keys built into the
PC. Microsoft is pushing to make this mandatory in a move that could
not be overridden by users"

So whats your opinion on this subject?

Well, if that is so... I won't be getting windows 8 when I build my own computer later on in the upcoming year.

^ Same
Not looking to get Windows 8 anyway's, Looks shit imo

It won't even let you boot into Windows 7 without going through 8.

Not getting it.

Guys I have to knew about that, How can i get rid from my a bad condition Laptop and i want to buy a new one please let me know.

Won't happen. They can't stop you from installing another OS. When you install linux it installs grub, and removes(i think) mbr.
If windows was to prevent you from un-installing mbr. that would be illegal.
So I wouldn't worry about this. It will never happen.

You will be able to buy Windows 7 Pc's once Windows 8 is out.

First off to buy a new laptop you may want to go to a store.
Second, start typing sentences so that others can comprehend them. The one you posted was hard to understand.

Not getting windows 8 ;/
