Wrong question
Authored by: ailuromancy on Monday, July 02 2012 @ 03:09 PM EDT

The right question is "What are we going to do while the law catches up with the real world". Eventually Microsoft will get fined a few hundred million for secure boot. That will happen some time after secure boot is as effective as encryption on DVD's. If you want to speed up the judgement against Microsoft, (the fines reduce my taxes :-), break secure boot.

Why not file.with the EU ?
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, July 03 2012 @ 10:11 AM EDT
Anybody can raise concerns there. You don't have to be EU based or resident. A
combined effort from the likes of FSF, and various Linux 'providers' would
generate some interesting action there much faster, and probably with harder
clout, than in the US. As an sside - Even at country level note Italy's formal
30 day notice to close down Apple there, for non-compliance, if they don't act
fast to put things right.

Why Not Boycott
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, July 03 2012 @ 07:54 PM EDT
... just boycott MS and the HW vendors until they produce
not locked in HW ...

... we could all buy Apple instead ...

... or crowdsource a new MoBo based on the various publicly available schematic
sets ...
