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.
Unfortunately, we don't really have anyone behind anything, we (the community) have to work out a solution for ourselves.
One question that comes to mind (don't know why it didn't before) - is there something that openSUSE might leverage in the agreement between SUSE and Microsoft?
Seems like exactly the sort of thing the technical agreement might be leveraged to address.

AFAIK openSUSE needs to take the lead as they are upstream ;) Might be time to start a thread in the Factory ML to consider the technical aspects? Maybe a forum poll to see how many have UEFI bootable systems or plan on buying hardware to run the other OS.... Note I'm running UEFI boot with elilo here with openSUSE and SLED, just haven't enabled the scary BIOS screen to enable the secure firmware side.... -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 (x86_64) Kernel 3.0.31-0.9-default up 22:05, 3 users, load average: 0.61, 0.42, 0.38 CPU Intel i5 CPU M520@2.40GHz | Intel Arrandale GPU -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
