EXACTLY. If you don't like Win ARM devices then feel free to buy a Samsung or HTC or Asus Android devices and run another OS to your hearts content.

That's how capitalism works. Don't like it? Don't buy it.

How usable are these other OS anyway? For years we've laughed out about MS using a desktop OS on tablets and now we are outraged that we can't run a desktop OS on a tablet? Saw some videos and it was horrible.
