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.

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.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
