Win10 running X86 on ARM


ouch... M$ is copying Exagears, like they copied Lotus123 (killed by excel).... etc



edit/disclaimer: yes, they both actually copied visicalc... Like xerox/macintosh GUI... it's complicated...

With Intel more or less dropping their x86 chipsets for mobile devices, this makes sense for Microsoft. I'm curious to see how well it will perform and how limited it will be.
 
What's with the moaning? It's sensible from a business pov and - if one doesn't use it anyway - why complain about others getting more stuff?
 
My Win10 runs and runs, no issues. Needs some tweaking for sure but at least you can do this. For instance, it only downloads updates'n stuff when I want it, not when Win wants it. :D

I like the idea of an propper Emulator solution to bring more desktop programs onto the mobile devices. However, MS should have enough ressources for real ARM ports of all of their programs, which would be more efficient than the detour over emulation. So the CPU power is not wasted through emulation, which may be critical onto mobile devices.
 
Emulation is about legacy software, about the ability to run any existing software. That can be the only selling point of Win10 mobile (as it's the main selling point of desktop Windows anyway).

The updates is probably the thing I hate most about Windows 10, as I've always ALWAYS disabled it on older MS OS's as it basically never added anything new, just patches for exploits that I'll never encounter since I don't run malicious shit in the first place.

I sometimes boot into win10, most of the time then is spend on updates/reboots. I don't mind they add features or fix things, but if you hardly use the OS it is annoying. Ubuntu has updates to, but you install them and mostly that's it.
For windows on the phone I never noticed updates really, so that would be less annoying.
