I mean a RISC-V netbook with a Linux GUI already exists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qDGV6LTOnk

That is what is already exists. Put some money into it and you have a real product. The work Microsoft did for Windows on ARM I'm sure is mostly compatible. Windows has been a large number of architectures in the past (PowerPC, Itanium, Alpha, MIPS) so portability is in it's DNA and there isn't much ARM-native & hardcoded Windows software out there.

ARM is still leaps ahead though.

The next 5 years will be interesting, I don't think ARM is stupid enough to price themselves out of the market.
