There's an amazing lack of interest in Surface jailbreaking, though. I was running a Chip-in to pick up a Surface RT (primarily to gauge interest). Even with you, comex, and a bunch of other people retweeting it, it ended up getting a grand total of $80. And that was from a demographic that's deeply interested in such jailbreaks.

The likelihood of a device being broken is almost purely a function of interest; the interest just isn't there for the Surface, which is why the money I got is going to the EFF rather than buying a device (my contingency if the project didn't raise enough or raised too much).

There's just an amazing lack of interest in the Surface altogether — except, apparently, from the freedom groups still upset about Microsoft while mostly ignoring the rest of the industry.
