My Thoughts on Windows on ARM - Is It a Revolution Or A Repeat Of The Same Mistakes Of The Past (Copilot+)
Microsoft has been no stranger to releasing builds of windows for the ARM architecture, and each of these previous attempts has been nothing short of a disaster. Previous builds of Windows for ARM had limitations that made it impossible to do anything aside from web browsing and lightweight productivity tasks. Third-party software support was close to nonexistent as developers would need to port their software to run on ARM chips, which was impossible to expect with the low market adoption rate of Windows on ARM. Microsoft wants to break from tradition and finally release a build of Windows on ARM that people will actually want to use. After spending a bit over a week with the Samsung Galaxy Book Edge, I can say that this time is definitely different... in an exciting way.
