FSF Warns About the Danger of Secure Boot

“The Free Software Foundation released a statement open for public signing, titled ‘Stand up for your freedom to install free software’. The statement is a response to Microsoft’s announcement that if computer makers wish to distribute machines with the Windows 8 compatibility logo, they must implement a system called ‘Secure Boot’. The FSF statement warns against the danger that, if done wrong, this system would have to be called Restricted Boot, because it could make computers incapable of running anything but Windows.” Signed.
