I actually hope no other GNU/Linux distribution will sign pacts with Microsoft to merely be able to boot their system. If Canonical follows Red Hat (and, I believe Novell) then manufacturers will keep on satisfying Microsoft's demands (against discounts on the Windows licenses I guess) and we will be screwed. Notice in particular than, as far as I understand, you cannot modify the kernel and still be able to boot it. Freedom 1 is under attacked.

Notice that rms did not have any heart attack.
