[sf-lug] Microsoft trying to shut out dual-booting machines with UEFI...

[Jeff Bragg]

Good question, to which I have no good answer.  My suspicion is it will

the the expected firmware).  I can't imagine it would serve MS' interests to
squash virtualization of Windows as a side-effect of being spiteful to
competing OSes.
