-{ Quote: "Microsoft will use the concepts of NGSCB to ensure that Windows-based machines start up without interference. The primary benefit of such an approach is that if a laptop is lost or stolen, the data can't be accessed simply by booting the machine up using another operating system." }-Sounds more like an anti-Linux feature to me - given the increasing strictures MS has tried to add to their licences (can only run on the machine purchased, requires activation, etc), how long before they actively try to prevent Windows from being removed?
