I present the following in response to the article you
linked...
Microsoft released a slew of new devices
designed
to run Windows 8 and only Windows 8. Secure Boot
raises many issues for
protecting user freedom, promoting
free software ideals, and encouraging free
software
adoption. Microsoft and the other companies driving
restricted boot
must be challenged.
The only way to counter their billions of dollars in
influence is with the power of your voices and your
generosity. We need to
raise $350,000 by January 31st to
help us amplify your voices in 2013.
Please, donate today to
help us turn up the
volume.
Sincerely,
The
Free Software Foundation

I thought Win8 booted with UEFI, and doesn't need/have BIOS.
So does calling it BIOS help the lazy who think they understand
how PCs work? or is it just obfuscation?
