[aklug] Re: Windows 8 + ubuntu

I'm not certain how much effort the other distros are going to put into
this. Right now it seems like the advocates of the other distros are
lambasting Fedora & Ubuntu for buying into this.

I'm not real wild about these 2 buying into it either, but I'm supposing
they looked into this and came to the conclusion the writing was on the
wall.

I did think it was decent of Fedora to share though...
