Windows 8 OEM specs may block Linux booting

It isn't more unreasonable or indeed any more illegal than Apple refusing to support Adobe's Flash Runtime on their platform. And this only affects Windows certification not the underlying principle of a PC as an open platform. Since UEFI standard is modular, it is simply a matter for the OEM to provide a secure environment module, which the end user can choose to use or not, depending on requirements. Linux will adapt as it always did. :) Furthermore, multi-booting in the age of virtualization is somewhat of a basket case scenario. ;)
I am confused about that, it seems Apple can do some things & get away with it. Plus the whole IE thing, is dumb. I never liked it, I used dadada ANOTHER BROWSER, just because something is included doesn't mean you have to use it.
