Is anything being done by
anyone (Google?) to stop Microsoft's attempts to completely monopolise things? [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Almost certainly not. It will ship with UEFI enabled and will refuse to boot any
code not signed by Microsoft's encryption key. You might own it but you'll never
pwn it. Only an idiot would buy such a crippled piece of kit.
Sadly the world is full of idiots.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Likely not. But then RH/Fedora did pay for a signed boot loader...
That distribution might not be available yet, but you could ask when you can
actually get one of the devices.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
