. Innovation and cheap prices will go out the "Window". .
You want to sell Window 8 certified PC, well you have to block the BIOS to make sure nothing else run in it” Is it not similar to Apple ?
Going by the comments on this Forum, Microsoft might as well shut up shop now, nobody knows how to use Windows 8, or just plain dont want to use it.
I think we'd better all start learning Mac because I fear for the future of Microsoft. Get used to buying hugely overpriced machines and not building your own anymore. These are dark days indeed.

But Linux is sounding more appealing by the minute.....

Did you ever fully configer Ubuntu or any other major Linux distro and do serious work with it. I am running Ubuntu since 3 years and still have to do many things via Terminal (command line). And let me tell you, the windows cmd is a piece of cake compared to Terminal. It is fun, but not very practical.
........you may not even be able to dual boot your PC anymore into Linux thanks to the new UEFI BIOS's that are starting to come out. You might want to read this article regarding the negatives of UEFI in Windows 8.

And you think company like Asus will not give the opportunity to their customers to disable this function in the BIOS? Wait to see the US and some European country step in a antitrust action against Microsoft if so. Anyway Microsoft is already stepping back on it. Actually in some European country have express concern about the fact that the US government can use the patriot act to put their nose on Microsoft servers ( like for Office 365) locate outside US.
