It's not exactly any secret that
Microsoft has had its fair share of
legal troubles over the years, many
of them arising from its pesky little
habit of finding ways to shut the
door on competitors. So when
Secure Boot came along in
Windows 8, many considered it
just a matter of time before a
formal complaint was made. Sure
enough, though it took perhaps
longer than one might have
expected, just such a complaint
was finally filed last week by
Hispalinux, a Spanish group of
8,000 Linux users and developers,
charging that Secure Boot is
nothing more than an "obstruction
mechanism."
