why do people not realize that with using microsoft keys
we are bringing them in the future to say "hey, look there
is no reason to disable secure-boot, so now we make it
mandatory without any option to disable it"
you do not believe this would happen?
What I believe is irrelevant. You're proposing emotional reaction based on a future
hardware requirement that has not been proposed, is not in the interest of Microsoft or
their OEMs post-Windows 8 requirement efforts requiring the disable feature, all for the
singular purpose of destroying a 1% market. And I think your proposal is highly irrational
and without merit.
well, let us come back here in a few years when the damage is done
WTF?
Yes, let's have emotional breakdowns on list in the meantime too. Great use of time.
Clearly what every company wants more than growing their markets, is to have pissed off
angry customers who were forced into being customers, because their prior platform was
willfully destroyed in a wild but massively successful conspiracy. There's simply no
potential for saboteurs in that market growth strategy. All for a 1% claim.
Based on this, Microsoft might want to, I don't know, blow up Longhua, to make Apple
do a face plant. That'd translate into some real market growth for Microsoft.
