"Help us make people laugh while raising awareness and putting pressure on Microsoft and computer makers. Restricted Boot is an issue that impacts every single computer user, including people who mainly use their phones or tablets—so we need material that can succeed in explaining this complicated issue to everyone.

Submit your comic to us by emailing campaigns@fsf.org either a URL to your comic or by attaching a suitable web-quality graphic.

Submissions are due by the end of day on March 17th."
I'm pretty sure Microsoft already stated in response to this that they have absolutely no intention of blocking the booting of any alternate operating systems. I guess their word is not good enough for FSF.

Visy, they said so for x86 systems. All ARM systems (Win8 tablets anyone?) will get locked down.
