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.

            Ah well, Firefox definitely has a Windows arm native build available on their website but yeah most applications certainly won’t

      Sure - but apple has been “working on” ARM since 1981. Microsoft is definitely on the back foot here.
