I think the post pretty speculative, given the past and current efforts of Microsoft to get together with OSS and Linux community; using a single slide to come to a conclusion of "Microsoft stopped doing that or has been lying about it" is very speculative.
I think we should give credit where it is due, MS is really trying to work with OSS community.
Also, a lot of enterprise customer would want always on secure boot, and it is up to OEM to decide whatever they want. How is this MS's fault?
- plesner 12y agoIs there any evidence that MS's recent OSS efforts are a reflection of anything other than the fact that Ballmer, who was ideologically against OSS, has left and so now MS can act rationally and use the OSS community the same way many other large companies do? If working with the OSS community is in their own immediate self interest -- and I'm curious whether someone can point out something they've done that isn't -- I don't know how much light it sheds on an area such as OEMs where their self interest is best served by locking linux out.
