    Not gonna matter, especially if Linux, BSD, and other alternatives are criminalized by this.

        They can make it illegal to sell certain types of hardware to consumers that allows you to install your own operating system. Of course, there is still virtualization. You can run Linux in a web browser nowadays (badly, but if there was a reason to improve it I’m sure it would be done)

        If they can ban hardware they don’t like, they can ban software they don’t like too, they could just make Linux illegal to operate.

      Heh. They’ll have enough trouble validating it on Windows and Mac for them to not even care about Linux. If rey force Linux to do this it really is the year the Linux desktop.
