A preview of x64 emulation on Windows for ARM

I am hoping that given how open some ARM archs are that now it will be within hobbyist reach to create even their own motherboard, send to one of the fabs and assemble then run full-fledged Windows on it. This looks like a dream come true! You could definitely do that now and run Linux, but given that some software doesn't exist on Linux, this is very exciting.

Aren't bespoke motherboards going to be rather expensive for hobbyists?

Yes, this is still relatively expensive, but probably you could do it with less than $2000 including buying necessary tools.

Yes and there’s going to be tons of noise issues, early breakages, and usability issues.
