Surface RT

The interesting question for me is will Microsoft try to lock down Windows 10 on ARM like Apple does with iOS and it tried with Windows RT, or will they be selling it as an open system? There's advantages in the lockdown approach but it isn't what a Windows user would expect. Perhaps they'll go for an optional lockdown and point to the advantages of a safer system? (and I don't mean optional as in their 'encouragement' to move to Windows 10!)

Another biggie is what kind of device driver support will they have? I can hardly imagine them being able to run x86 device drivers but what will they actually do? Or would they try running even those under emulation?
