Wasn’t even thinking about that, I have an old surface rc2 that’s totally useless because MS abandoned it years ago and it’s locked down so you can’t install an alternate os on it. To be fair, I’m not sure how useful it could be but it’s really about the fact I can’t do what I want with hardware I own.

Edit: apparently this (locked down) hasn’t been an issue for a while so that’s actually great

All of them modern Windows for ARM devices released since Windows 10 have been boot unlocked to my knowledge, just with very poor driver support. Lookup Linaros articles on the subject.

Totally out of the loop for sure, definitely basing my assumptions on my experience with the rc2, I’m actually really happy that’s changed

Then why didn’t you say you’re out of the loop when writing the comments? You’ve just potentially misled a bunch of people for no good reason. These products are controversial enough as is without falsehoods being layered on top.
