So how do people install openbsd on the thinkpad x13s?
Here's an article about the rule being made in the first place (IIRC, the rule got made at the same time Windows on ARM was itself first given to manufacturers): https://softwarefreedom.org/blog/2012/jan/12/microsoft-confi...

I'm not sure how it's working on those laptops, but I'd imagine the choices are either that Lenovo got given an exception, the rule as a whole got changed, or that Microsoft just hasn't noticed or is intentionally looking the other way.
