for a software-focussed company like Microsoft to deny running Windows on the M1 seems very strange to me…
if MSFT is serious about (eventually) transitioning to ARM for the majority of consumer-oriented Windows machines, it surely makes sense for them to provide support for the most adopted ARM-based laptop and desktop platform out there… to bolster development of ARM-native applications for Windows on ARM, if nothing else.
i don’t own either machine — but i imagine the ARM-based Surface Pro X would make a miserable development experience, especially compared to a hypothetical Windows on M1(X) MacBooks.
we shall see i suppose, but i would be very surprised if we never see it happen.
