    Microsoft Windows would need to support whatever ARM chip comes out which will be an overgrowing number.

    Or they can do with producing, say, HaloPhones and HaloPads and only supporting what’s used in them.

    Windows on ARM will not be used by anyone unless AAA games or AutoCAD software is build for ARM and Nvidia and AMD GPUs can be easily coupled with it.

    I suspect this is like weapons trade or big commercial integrations. There will be ARM versions of those when there will be a strategy of MS and its partners profiting from it. Same with hardware.

    It’s not that something happening naturally didn’t happen, it’s that there’s no such strategy to turn in that direction. This market is so oligopolized that it even looks this way.
