    What about ARM is in any way better?

    The large majority of windows users have never compiled an app and the majority of windows programs are closed source.

    Say goodbye to EVERYTHING YOU USE WINDOWS FOR, it’s all built for non-ARM processors.

    Does noone remember surface RT? Windows phones?

      The new chips are so powerful that most emulated apps will no longer feel emulated, which was a big hurdle for Windows on Arm to overcome.

      So probably they’ve got an x86_64 emulator on board to be able to run non-native programs.

      If I was prone to conspiracy theories, I’d think they plan to switch entirely to ARM and drop x86_64 support for Windows 14 in order to create a walled garden.
