问题描述
我的家人可能会购买带有Windows RT(Nvidia)的Windows Surface平板电脑?我想知道我是否可以在我的作业上运行Ubuntu或WUBI?
最佳解决思路
因为在RT平板电脑上我会说不,因为微软需要安全密钥才能启动它。它可能在标准的Windows 8平板电脑上,因为安全启动对于OEM来说是可选的,不像Surface的强制启动。
这是一个类似的问题

次佳解决思路
简而言之,如果没有一些人没有做过的极端黑客行为,那看起来并不可能。
Microsoft have deliberately nobbled the Windows 8 specification so that this can’t happen on ARM-based machines.
To be Windows 8 RT compatible (ARM machines only) it must not be possible to disable or reconfigure secure boot. So if you have an ARM machine that can run Windows 8 RT then it can only run an operating system signed by Microsoft.
So the Surface RT is like all other Windows 8 RT in that it’s very much a device for muggles and mouse mittens; no Linux or BSD wizardry allowed, no dual-booting hacked-up iOS and no Android either. I can understand why they’d do this because most people are pointers and clickers, but it’s not a machine for tech-heads.
The Surface Pro has an Intel i5 machine so hopefully Ubuntu 13.04 will support it of the box, if it does then I’ll get one.
