Good that MS is also hard at work on arm support, for the same battery + Android app compatibility reasons

Aren't all the Windows ARM devices locked down? Can users purchase and install their own copies of Windows on a non-MS-affiliated piece of hardware?

That's a requirement for Bootcamp, unless Apple strikes some special deal with MS, and I don't foresee that happening.

Also, the software ecosystem for Windows on ARM still isn't great. There's an emulator built into the OS, but it's an emulator.
