the arm platform with windows on it is significant because it can be sold at very high volumes and low cost. if we cant put linux on it then its a win for m$. theres a lot of linux only arm devices out there but at insignificant numbers. if m$ can create a device at the right price for us at massive volumes then its not bad at all. > HTH. > > > --- mike t. > > > ________________________________ > From: Rogelio Serrano <[email protected]> > To: Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Technical Discussion List > <[email protected]> > Sent: Monday, 16 January 2012, 11:46 > Subject: [plug] booting linux from secure boot equipped hardware > > whats the best way? replace some chips from the mainboard? > > -- > quarq consulting: agile, open source > _________________________________________________ > Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List > http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug > Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph > > > > _________________________________________________ > Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List > http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug > Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph -- quarq consulting: agile, open source _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
