It's funny how Microsoft didn't succeed with the push for ARM.
Their latest try with 8cx and SQ1 wasn't a big hit. The CPUs aren't the best, MS doesn't want to pour as much money as Apple into CPU research.
They also try a gradual move, targeting both x86 and ARM as they don't want to/don't afford to upset consumers.
If Microsoft would make next version of Windows ARM only, most software makers would probably target last version of Windows, most users would sit at the last version of Windows and Intel and AMD would happily sell their x86 CPUs.
