For this simple reason the Linux Foundation should stop wasting further energy for UEFI. As a Linux user from the very beginning (since 1992) I won't buy any UEFI device for Linux in general even if Linux would be 100% supported. I won't buy an expensive WinRT tablet just to put Linux on it.

When the Linux Foundation was founded I was happy to have a strong organization behind Linux. But today they make me really angry for supporting a system of someone who considered Linux, and the Open Source movement in general, as enemy. UEFI proves that they don't have changed their mind.

LF, please stop your unrealistic UEFI dreams, and please focus on the interests of the Linux community. I believe that most Linux users want functional hardware alternatives which will likely remain free from DRM restrictions. I would appreciate that even at the cost of incompatibility with the internet. In that case we would have to build our own new Internet, free from spam etc.

There are so many good devices like Raspberry and Beagleboard Black. They are powerful enough to be used as a desktop workstation when using a small and efficient Linux distro. Why not even enhance them with an e-ink display to make them a cheap alternative tablet pc that everyone can afford?

By the way, for the price of a single UEFI WinRT tablet we could build a whole server cluster of RPis or BBB.
