And finally, BeOS, was commercial, and there was no ARM. <br />Third, I could easily see the BRIC countries strongly start installing Linux in Schools on Beagle board based computers. It will be the final BLOW to Wintel. <br />And finally, one Linux will stop trying to go mainstream through the door, it will be discovered. No body asks for dual booting his Android with WinCE, and yet Android devices are sold in millions.linuxpixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13824277076869080022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29919833.post-70983596343033339542011-10-05T00:24:27.649-07:002011-10-05T00:24:27.649-07:00Pixie, you're getting at it from the wrong dir...Pixie, you're getting at it from the wrong direction. "Straight" Linux users are not affected at all by this. It only gets in the way of conversions. That is, the way it is designed now, Windows 8 will not boot without "secure UEFI", and Linux won't boot with it. The results:<br /><br />1) You will no longer be able to just hand out a LiveCD and say "try it!". A Windows-8-Logo-certified PC won't boot a LiveCD without mocking with the BIOS, and then won't boot Windows until you restore the BIOS settings.<br /><br />2) It will be a lot harder to dual-boot, which is a critical phase in the path of most converts.<br /><br />You should google "BeOS" -- the story of the commercial OS who was better than Windows, but was killed through denying dual-boot.Shaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499062362765599393noreply@blogger.com
