Windows RT Jailbreak Tool Released

Posted by samzenpus on from the right-tool-for-the-job dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Earlier this week, reports surfaced that the Windows RT operating system had been jailbroken to allow for the execution of unsigned ARM desktop applications. Microsoft quickly issued a statement 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."

    Kudos to MS for being good sports about it.

    Why wouldn't they? Now that I can run (and compile) my own programs on it, I'd be willing to buy a windows RT tablet.

    Well ... maybe.
