I can not fathom the level of incompetence by vendors to want to install Windows on ARM devices.

1. The only reason you make people deal with Windows is backwards compatibility.

2. When you advertise it as a Windows laptop people will expect to be able to run their apps (they expect backwards compatibility). RIP your reputation and support inbox.

Yes, it will be harder to sell when it runs Linux. But it's the correct expectations management and at least it will suck less.

Oh well. This is what Google will do with their Chromebooks. Windows on ARM has the same future as the Windows Phone.

Have you tried x86 emulation on Windows for ARM? It works just fine for me.

It's slower and one of the main things people want Windows to run is games. Also, games are one of the things emulation systems are most likely to break, because games use all kinds of weird performance hacks and come with heinous anti-cheat systems.

Have you tried it though? I use it primarily for games and I've never had an issue with it
