[News] RMS Interview on Kerala's Migration to Linux

| 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.

| nastier, might prohibit the replacement of the BIOS if Windows is deemed
| to be a form of Digital Restrictions Management.
