> I love how Windows RT devices which are struggling to ship a couple million are "ARM devices" but there is absolutely no mention of tens of millions of iPads, Kindle and some other Android tablets being sold with locked bootloaders.
Microsoft makes a desperate attempt to secure a small anchor amid the avalanche of ARM-Android and inadvertently breathes new life into the Microsoft Meme: "Growth by Stifling Competition." Almost feel sorry for them.

If they don't lock down the boot loader like Apple does they'll end up with root kit viruses and people will say "Oh, you should get an iPad so Russian mobsters don't clean out your bank account". On the other hand, if they do lock it down there are articles like this one.
