And so the liars' deceit is revealed.
The lawyer has brought before you his lie according to which Microsoft abided by the lofty promises of the politicians. But now you are told you should profit from the violations which had been denied.

The liars try to tell you otherwise but hardware manufacturers have worked to make some of their laptops run with operating systems other than Windows. Still, you can not buy them without Windows. That is not in the interest of the manufacturers or the consumers. You will hardly find a more blatant monopolistic practice than that. But watch the liars scramble to deny this plain fact!
Now they tell you that by piling up violation upon violation, manufacturers might be able to make up for the losses caused by Microsoft with Symantec's bribes. But who will line the pockets of the consumers? And who will pay the price of the market distortions?

Not only that: the liars even tell you as well that a monopoly is the market at work. War is peace, they say! In 1948, no one would have stood for this.

tejozaszaszas: "A previously unused feature of the UEFI BIOS specification, the secure boot protocol, is due to become standard as part of the roll-out of Windows 8 - and it seems set to prevent the installation of alternative operating systems."

"Previously, secure boot has been disabled by default, but changes to the Windows logo programme will require vendors to enable the technology if they want to receive Microsoft validation. Free software enthusiasts warn that the change will prevent end-users from installing third-party operating systems - or even downgrading a Windows 8 OEM install to a previous version of Windows."

The meeting
-----------------
Mr Pres: With the iPad and all of Apple whooping us in the financial markets and with Linux systems popping up everywhere, we need to create a dominating product.

Guy in the back: Um, Bill? Wouldn't it be good to make a product that is more desirable than the others?

Mr Pres: Someone fire that man. We need to dominate the market with a busy-looking interface and the inability to install anything we don't want them to. It should also work on tablets. That's what will fill our pockets and dominate the OS markets.

Guy in the back (while being pushed out of the room): Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
