I agree that it should be fought. Running around panicking about how evil MS is will just waste time. Talking to hardware vendors to ask them what is needed to

  No offense, but Linux people have been trying to engage hardware vendors for decades now. If the hardware happens to be a rack server or Android phone, they tend to have decent success. If it's a laptop, the answer (if one comes back) is generally "You want to run what now?" No one cares. Margins are too thin to "engage the community" or any other such nonsense. Does it run Windows? Ship it.

    No offense, but Linux people have been screaming at Microsoft for decades now. It hasn't made a single difference. However, at this point, nearly all hardware out there has some degree of Linux support, often with the help of the vendor directly. There are two choices that might accomplish anything: Work with the vendors and try to work out a solution, or lawyer up.
