Interesting. Samsung making a bold move here, but one that could make sense.

MS has been working on ARM for years. To think otherwise is naive.

    That’s not what I meant. Microsoft has been working on Windows ARM, sure, but has anyone else been working on Windows ARM? As far as I know you can’t even get Firefox on ARM.

    I suppose that they have a compatibility layer, but it’s nowhere near the performance of Rosetta 2.
