Windows is not fine with ARM, which can be a turnoff for some.
I bet it will be fine with arm fairly quickly now that these chips are on the horizon.
I doubt it. Many windows applications still are 32 bit only today. Visual studio only got 64 bit support in 2022. Windows has a long history of backwards compatibility and I would expect to be depending on software compatibility layers for a decade or more, even for some Microsoft products.
The 20 reference laptops doing the benchmarking in this article were running on windows....
Being able to run benchmarks doesn't make it is a great experience to use unfortunately. 3/4 of applications don't run or have bugs that the devs don't want to fix.
Could you name a few? Just curious if its very specific stuff or apps I might actually use.
