Put that way, Apple has also moved to block Linux from two hundred million+ ARM devices at the bootloader level but I barely hear a peep about it, forget about referencing anti-trust. Why all this clamouring when MS does the exact equivalent?
- fpgeek 14y agoThe triennial clamoring about jail-breaking and DMCA exceptions is closely related to this (and gets pretty loud, IMO). I suspect the major difference is that most people don't want to dual-boot iOS and Linux, whereas many people dual-boot Windows and Linux on the desktop and can see themselves doing the same on an ARM-based laptop or tablet (so having it prevented feels like something being taken away rather than not just not having something).
