In recent months Microsoft has been taking a real facelift
betting on community development courses and sweepstakes travel to Redmond, and
has even decided to make a nod to the users with illegal copies of Windows who
want to upgrade to the latest version operating system, although its obvious
limitations .
But despite this, Microsoft still has a dark side when
dealing with the competition posed by other operating systems, and those who
have thought about doing a dual boot with Windows 10 and some GNU / Linux
distribution you will have harder than ever because of an old acquaintance, the
Secure Boot system.
A round with the Secure Boot
Until now, manufacturers who want to BE ABLE teams put their
logo "Designed for Windows 8" had to meet certain requirements,
including the inclusion of UEFI Secure Boot was. This system protects the
computer against malware that interferes with the process startup, but instead
makes it extremely difficult to use other alternative operating systems.
Until now Microsoft had managed to avoid controversy by
requiring manufacturers to give users the option to disable this system, with
Windows 10 the requirement to make the optional Secure Boot is deleted. In this
way, Windows 10 computers will come with this feature enabled by default and
many of them would have the option to disable it.
But although this will initially install Linux is much more
difficult, we all know that software, like life in Jurassic Park, plows. Currently
they are existing GNU / Linux with all appropriate signatures to start with the
Secure Boot enabled, so it would be logical to think that in the future all end
up adapting to it in order to survive.
