Windows 8 Certified Computers May Not Be Able To Boot Linux

Damn that's hypocritical.

 

Of course not, thats why 97% follow it

 

It's closer to 100% than you think.

 

Leave em pagan idol worshiping heathens alone will ya. who cares about em anyways.

What Mr. Bott says.

 

Well I just brought a new HP Pavilion Slimline with Windows 7
and had a HELL of a time downgrading it to Windows XP

"a hard way to find out about this new bios system"

Got it working thou, typing on it now, really like the small size
and is bone quite also

Before someone ask how come I downgraded
I did not want that bloated Windows 7
If windows 8 is the same which will no doubt be
I will probably be going to Linux next

 

You downgraded to a 10 year old vulnerable OS that doesn't even prefetch.

You've mistaken bloat with optimization.

 

Why downgrade? If you need old programs, there's always Compatibility Mode and XP Mode.

 

Big mistake.... don't know why anyone would want XP on a new machine. Amazing....

 

I guess everyone has the right to their own opinion

 

The line between opinion and fact is fairly thin on this subject.
