You have to realize that the ease of installing alternative software is
a historical accident resulting from the fact that you buy the computer
from one company and the software is provided by another company.
Certainly in cases when both hardware and software come from the same
company, the expectation is that you cannot freely replace the software.
And, as if on cue, Microsoft just announced their own ARM tablet. Do you
feel that they should leave it open to installing alternative OS?
Would they subsidize its hardware cost like they apparently do with
Xboxes, and would your answer change depending on whether they do?
