I agree that I would like to see custom OS's be bootable on any device, but Microsoft is merely continuing the trend here. Neither Apple nor most Android manufacturers allow ARM devices to boot custom OS's. What is so special about Microsoft that it is an issue when they do it but not the 2+ years other manufacturers have been doing it?
