"Microsoft tries to conflate the two"

They certainly did that on our side of the pond. Both retailers and buyers were
totally misled about the RT game.

Tried Win 8?
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, April 10 2013 @ 12:18 PM EDT
A cynic's explanation for the reason why MS have totally locked down their ARM
hardware but mandated that Intel chipsets be unlockable is that the Intel
hardware can run Windows 7 (and below) and MS are fearful that potential
customers might only buy if they can run their existing software on older
versions of Windows.

As there are no previous versions of Windows for ARM there is no potential
downside to MS if they prevent users installing a different operating system -
because on ARM it definitely wouldn't be a Microsoft one.
