TechBytesBot@yuhong2: @mjg59 @schestowitz But WinRT is the first time an OS vendor mandate other hardware vendors lock down their devices.Nov 14 11:48

TechBytesBot@yuhong2: @mjg59 @schestowitz Plus you'd have to actually get MS to transfer the keys. Antitrust might be a way to do that.Nov 14 11:48

TechBytesBot@yuhong2: @mjg59 @schestowitz And yea, the control over the keys could be transferred to a standard body, but one would have to be set up first.Nov 14 11:48

TechBytesBot@yuhong2: @mjg59 @schestowitz Though on Windows RT, note that iOS is similarly locked down.Nov 14 11:48

TechBytesBot@yuhong2: @schestowitz @mjg59 Looks like Techrights actually suggest Red Hat file a formal complaint.Nov 14 11:48
