Why RIM doesnt unlock the PB Kernel
The Playbook is a bargain of a tablet, discounted cost and with top hardware still running fine after 2 years. RIM is keeping it locked so that we may use and invest in the Playbook OS and Blackberry ecosystem.
Now how would it be if people bought Playbooks for cheap and converted them to Android or Windows so they could run competing OS app ecosystems? You would be screwing RIM over twice... Once by getting hardware from RIM which they are probably losing money on, and Twice by erasing their OS and investing into another OS and other app ecosystem so RIM never gets a dime.
The Playbook is also about security. If you could root it to install another OS, you could also root it to hack into the existing files and bypass all the security. There is no way RIM would allow access so you can just bulldoze over all their security and erase Blackberry's OS right off the tablet!
Just think about how you save lots of money buying a Playbook for cheap, you'll have lots of money left over to buy apps and help support the ecosystem and keep improving the Playbook.

When I dream about putting Windows 8 on my computer it's a nightmare. What is it that you want? The Metro look?
