Earlier this week, reports surfaced that the Windows RT operating system had been jailbroken (http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/13/01/07/1548223/windows-rt-jailbroken-to-run-third-party-desktop-apps) to allow for the execution of unsigned ARM desktop applications. Microsoftquickly issued a statement (http://thenextweb.com/microsoft/2013/01/08/microsoft-determines-windows-rt-jailbreak-poses-no-security-threat-applauds-hacker-for-ingenuity/) saying it does not consider the findings to be part of a security vulnerability, and applauded the hacker for his ingenuity. Now, a Windows RT jailbreak tool has been released (http://thenextweb.com/microsoft/2013/01/10/windows-rt-jailbreak-tool-released-opening-up-the-door-for-a-microsoft-surface-homebrew-community/).
