as mjg59 pointed out in his initial post, the ARM ecosystem is far less
Microsoft-centric. Microsoft's logo requirements are stricter for ARM
systems, which means it'd probably be a very bad idea to buy a Windows 8
ARM device as something to put Fedora on...but on the positive side,
it's highly likely there will be lots of ARM hardware around which is
not Microsoft-certified, unlike PCs.
