In what sense is this ransoming access to features from hardware vendors? It sounds like some bespoke optimisation, not locking-out?https://twitter.com/TimSweeneyEpic/status/964043031715467264 …
For example, blocking access to NVDIMM non-volatile storage sold by Intel and others, or to some Xeon workstation CPU configurations.

Nothing in what I've read suggests you suddenly can't use hardware. It's promoting an optimisation for server class hardware. Windows had a server class OS release for ever. (Well since NT at least, not sure about before then)

Makes sense. You are talking about currently enterprise/workstation class components that require extra Windows optimization for business. They would have little no effect on consumers who wouldn't want to pay the extra dev costs. Businesses would.
