I have only the following criticism: Given the relatively low cost of getting a signed certificate from Microsoft (to my knowledge it will cost about 100 USD), it might fail to achieve what it is proposed to. Obviously Microsoft will try to prevent any sort of abuse, but even if Microsoft only hands out signed certificates after some extensive checks to trustworthy companies/organisations, it can't control it from there on any more.
Just for clarification: you seem to be endorsing a model in which organizations (linux distros?) pay Microsoft for the right to install non-Microsoft software in PCs. Is that correct? Manolo
