situation will only improve when arm is made acessible to the masses..

i think this will go a bit like secure boot.. it existed for ages, it only became a real available in every computer when MS got behind it and made it happen..

now you can install even most linux distros without a problem and it just work..

arm will be a pain in the beginning but having microsoft backing it might the best way to make it happen..

i am curious to see how microsoft, that historically aim to keep backward compatibility as much as possible, will handle such a braking change like this move to arm..

but one could argue that this breaking change might be what they need to just get rid of some legacy stuff..
