Libre OS (Android) is Locked Down on Driod X; Unlock it Using Proprietary OS (Windows)

For whatever reason, Motorola and Verizon has locked down the Android Operating System on the new Droid X phone. The Droid X is loaded up with crapware that can only be removed if you hack the phone to gain root access. The only known way to root the Droid X is to use Windows.

Thanks to Motorola an Verizon for taking one of the greatest advantages of the Android OS, it’s libre software, and making sure that all but a few never benefit from this advantage.
