> In the past 5 years, how many ARM devices has MS released, other than the Surface Pro X ?

Two Surface Pro X and one Surface Pro 9. I intentionally said "all ARM64 Windows devices", without restricting it to Microsoft ones, no matter how many there have been: it remains the current platform-wide policy, regardless of the FUD.

The rest of your comment is either strawmanning or shifting the discussion further away from where it started and I don't find it worth responding to.

Two devices compared to dozens of locked ones including the original Surface as well as the 2nd RT.

And how are non Microsoft devices relevant to a discussion of a Microsoft device? You made the same point before...

In case you didn't notice, all your 3 replies so far have been filled to the brim with _accusations_ of FUDing, irrelevance, strawmanning and whatever without even mentioning what is irrelevant or why. Everything I say is apparently an irrelevant anecdote, even thought it is actually the historical trend of MS ARM released devices, and the anecdote if anything is the last device only. Why are your arguments any better exactly?
