I guess Microsoft will have to hurry up and build an ARM version of Windows so they can keep the rounding error number of BootCamp users satisfied.

An ARM version of Windows has existed for almost a decade. In fact it's running on quite a few laptops right now.

Since 1997 to be exact. WinCE ran on arm since time immemorial.

There is an ARM version of Windows 10 that runs on the Surface Pro X [1].

Not only that, the first released version of NT on ARM was in 2012.

They had crappy code signing policies (only store apps on Windows RT tablet) which guaranteed poor adoption but that was a policy decision, not a technical one.
