I have recently found out that any new computer or laptop that ships with the upcoming Windows 8 Operating System will not be able to run any other Operating System.
This is not strictly true - for instance (as I've mentioned elsewhere) it's only client systems that are required to implement secure boot, and the spec itself doesn't prevent vendors from permitting other OS's to boot, just that it's likely that some/many/most/all won't get around to implementing that ability.. So you need to be a bit more nuanced about it I think. cheers, Chris -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC This email may come with a PGP signature as a file. Do not panic.
