I think that once the computers are sold that are locked to
only Windows the court actions will start. Until they are for
sale all we have is speculation about them.

And I've worked out how to boot a now-non-current Fedora system solely with EFI
on Macs--which lets you run Fedora (or other Linux distro) from a USB or
FireWire disk. (You can't do that with the Apple BIOS emulator that's there for
BootCamp and Windows.)

None of that required original coding: it was just a matter of taking what other
people already knew, building a new-enough GRUB, and loading the boot config
information I cribbed from elsewhere on the 'net.

Of course, Macs are locked the other way: the hardware will run anything you
care to boot. It's OS X that worries about the hardware it is run on.
