It would be funny if MS beat Apple to ARM laptops

And Acorn (the company that invented ARM chips - Acorn Risc Machine) had the Acorn A4 http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/22807/Acorn-A4-Laptop... Edit: Microsoft was also already there with their Windows CE devices.

And Psion and Vtech (http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/30249/Vtech-I-T-Lapto...) also used ARM Chips in laptop form factor devices

So it's not really about someone beating someone else to market, just the evolution of the market itself.

And isn't the new touchbar thing on the macbook pros also running on ARM?

And speaking of windows 10 on arm... what's the deal with this Windows 10 IoT Core thing? from February and how does it relate to the qcom socs?
