Microsoft aren't forcing Lenovo to block free operating systems
There has been a disturbing level of contempt for the people that were <i>concerned</i> about the future of Free Software. There has been a major shift towards more locked down platforms for years ever since iOS was accepted by the developer community. With Microsoft locking down Secure Boot on ARM and requiring it for Windows 10, it is prudent to be extra <i>vigilant</i> about anything strange that happens in the boot process. The alternative is to ignore <i>potential</i> problems until they grow into much larger problems that are harder to deal with.<p>Obviously vigilance implies some amount of false positives. It is easy to dismiss a problem once better information is available. It&#x27;s great that this Lenovo situation is simply a misunderstanding about drivers, but that doesn&#x27;t invalidate the initial <i>concern</i> about a suspicious situation.
