I have read several posts on the Net which highlight restrictive practices. I said this would happen and it has. Is anyone so blind as cannot see that Microsoft is not a nice company, no, in my opinion they are evil!
Here is just one post from a distressed customer of a Samsung product on which he finds:- 1. Secure boot cannot be switched off. 2. Booting is not possible on neither CD nor USB media
Look for the heading 'APPALLING - AVOID!!!'. http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B009SJCX68
