2. Security on Windows is a major hassle. That's probably the only thing Google's ChromeBooks have going for them - their security model is hassle-free. UEFI is Microsoft's best shot at a hassle-free security model. They're going to push it hard with all the cash and hype they can muster. Linux desktops *are* going to be wounded in the process, and Linux distros that delay dealing effectively with the UEFI issue will simply cease to exist as a force on the desktop/laptop.

Thanks!! 1. Who owns this issue? 2. What steps need to happen before it is closed? 3. When can we expect closure? The community needs answers - at the very least, names of the decision makers. See Distrowatch Weekly this week (http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20120611) for the remarks of Chris Smart, the man behind the Kororaa distribution. As it stands now, I have little choice but to migrate from openSUSE to Fedora over the next few months because it's not certain a large class of users will be able to use my software collections on bare metal should they desire to do so. At least with Fedora, that possibilty is open. -- Twitter: http://twitter.com/znmeb Computational Journalism Server http://j.mp/compjournoserver Data is the new coal - abundant, dirty and difficult to mine. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
