Thanks for posting that. It was news to me; I haven't been following Windows on ARM, but am now interested due to Apple's upcoming hardware.

I was under the impression (like many others apparently) that Windows 10 ARM64 wouldn't be very useful (since so few native apps are available), but being able to run 32-bit (x86) apps is huge:
