   Microsoft themselves failed to capitalize on providing support to ARM. The   
   portability of Windows is inconsequential if the apps are unsupported. As   
   long as x86 apps does not have near-universal compatibility with the   
   underlying software with a minimal translation layer (such as Apple's   
   Rosetta); transitioning Windows to ARM architecture would be difficult.
