I have waited for this for months... but it's still only an x86_64 binary!

I love my ARM Surface Pro, and Zed would make a wonderful editor on this hardware. If anyone from Zed is reading this, please think about it!

I build Zed for Windows aarch64 from source -- works great, though the build process is quite slow on my 16GB Surface Pro. Definitely hoping for official binaries, though!

I think I got as far as installing the Visual Studio Installer so I could install Visual Studio and I just bailed on that whole thing, lol. I'll have to take some time out on a weekend to take another look :)

For whatever reason, zed compilation on windows with msvc is extremely slow compared to the Linux counterpart.

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/145864 was opened because of the the discrepancy
