Firmware though can be changed.. so although that firmware won't run anything but MS it doesn't mean to say that other firmwares won't be released by official or unofficial sources.. Just look at everyone who's just recently bought one of the cheap HP tablets (slightly different circumstances).. It can't yet run anything but WebOS which is now defunct but there's talk about changing the bootloader to allow Android..
