It’s not up to Microsoft. People don’t buy Windows machines for the sake
of Windows; they buy it for the apps they need to run on it. That app
support for running natively on ARM hasn’t exactly set the world on
fire, as I pointed out in the posting that started this thread.

 
"As I pointed out", it's still early.

Did you indeed? Weren’t your past postings along the lines of “the
revolution is here already”, and even that Windows-on-ARM might be
“unstoppable”?

You're expecting some instant
result, but it's been literally a month or two ...

Only if you discount all the decades of past failures of Windows, on ARM
and other non-x86 architectures. In other words, only if you behave
exactly like the sort of corporate fodder that swallows the management
marketspeak whole without even stopping to think about it.

Remember Einstein’s definition of insanity: trying the same thing over and
over, hoping for a different outcome each time.
