Richard Stallman on Kerela's desktop Linux adoption
,----[ Noteworthy ]
| I am currently in France. Here some companies sell computers whose
| BIOS prevents installation of anything but Windows. Customers with a
| certain amount of expertise may be able to get another BIOS from branches
| of the same companies in other countries, but ordinary users won't know
| how to do that.
|
| Also, we are concerned that the new French law, like the DMCA but even
| nastier, might prohibit the replacement of the BIOS if Windows is deemed
| to be a form of Digital Restrictions Management.
