@jeffcutsinger ultimately I think microsoft don't _really_ want that sort of fine graned ironclad control at the hardware level as much as they want to lock you into platforms and services, "Windows" is just one of the er, "windows" you get pushed through into Copilot/Teams/Office. What they don't want is to let you out of the walled garden once you fall in.

There are though already very strongly locked platforms that seriously limit what you can boot (iPhoneOS, OSX) without hacks
