So now there will be no way to use new Macbooks with Linux/Windows installed due to that weird numeric touch keys row?

I better consider recently updated HP Spectre x360 with newest Kaby Lake CPU and usual fn keys row, plus it's convertible if someone needs that.

Windows support for the touch bar gizmo will depend on Apple updating their bootcamp drivers.

As for Linux... I guess somebody will need to reverse engineer and write a driver for it.

Doesn't sound very encouraging, but yes there is no other way since obviously Apple is not supposed to support Linux/Windows systems.

That Spectre x360 laptop in my opinion does look like a real Macbook competitor, even a better device in some aspects.
