> Microsoft will partner with Qualcomm and have their own custom SoC like the M1
Microsoft partnered with Qualcomm 6 years ago and there have been a number of terrible systems released. You probably haven't heard of them because of how bad they are. If there's any progress for Windows+ARM, it's really from Qualcomm's exclusive agreement expiring. They're hyping the Nuvia team right now, but Qualcomm's track record is ridiculously bad, and there's a bit more work involved here than incanting "ARM".
