With all the wonders there are in the Universe, they invented boredom./" Terry Pratchet, Hogfather "/The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed./" Albert Einstein /"Stuff your eyes with wonder ... live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories./" Ray Bradbury

As far I understand it M$ attempts to lock down the Arm platform in Europe will fail due to EU law. Not allowed to do what they want to do. Might be that under U.S. law they can do something ? Not sure about the latter. Whatever else happens they will certainly use their marketing power to drive out GNU/Linux from the ARM CPU in the way that they did from the Asus EeePC. Only Linux fans will know that Linux exists. In the U.K. the Pi is aimed at the educational market. Which is owned by Microsoft under direction from Whitehall.
