It concerns computers with Secure Boot - technology that checks if bootloader that you are loading is signed (which is supposed to mean it's safe). It will be needed for Windows 8 certification as optional on x86 and impossible to turn off on ARM - and those things aren't easy to hack around. Of course, the problem is whose keys will be in the trusted set in your BIOS? The ones from Microsoft for sure (and they will happily sign anything they are asked to by US intelligence), and probably something from main board vendor. And here is where the fun starts: you wont be able to boot final version of Windows 8 without Secure Boot, but Secure Boot won't load GRUB. So you need a trip to BIOS configuration (IF your vendor was kind enough, which may be obvious now but may not be so in a few years) on every OS switch. |
