   If the DoD want a secure Windows (hah!), they can pay Microsoft for it.   
   The rest of the computing community DO NOT want locked down shit like   
   has happened to phones and tablet junk.   
      
   I want to run Linux, or BoOS or anything else I choose, I moved from   
   Microsoft to Linux because they were taking control from the users.   
   Pandering to Microsoft plays into their hands.   
      
   The politicians are bought, so will do nothing.   
      
   Kill secure boot junk now, or live in your walled garden shit controlled   
   by Microsoft.
