On the x86, probably.
But remember: Surface will *not* be the only RT or x86 Win8 Tablets coming this fall. Surface is just the benchmark.
There will be cheaper, plasticker, versions as well as other mutations. (convertibles, 8inchers, 4x3 and 16x10 aspects, hard-drive versions...)
And on the OEM hardware it will be up to the vendor to lock the bootloader or not.
(That was settled months ago.)
