@Doctor Syntax - Re: Business market?

Sorry to piss on your party but by accepting to implement UEFI SecureBoot manufacturers have shown their mind. So far they seem to think they can still make money by toeing the Microsoft line and Microsoft has nothing against that belief.

For your information when migrating to Windows 7 I was forced to dispose a perfectly functional Canon scanner because they felt it is more profitable to force me to buy a new one instead of just upgrading the driver for the existing one.

If I were you I'd pay close attention to this article (eventually reading it several times).
