Interesting. I wonder what stopped them mandating this on x86? (Intel cough)


Windows 7, actually. It isn't signed.


As usual, Microsoft's own products are the most troublesome competitors to its newer products.


And what happens when Windows 9 for ARM comes out and it's signed with a new set of keys that existing locked-down ARM netbooks don't have?


Why would that happen? Why would MS deny themselves that upgrade revenue?


What, because MS is going to drop their old keys behind the sofa?
