   I keep wondering how well those Windows-on-ARM devices are really   
   doing. Compatibility with the vast majority of existing x86-Windows   
   apps still seems abysmal. I suspect that the popularity of the   
   ARM-based machines is directly down to the fact that most work by   
   ordinary users is being done in the cloud nowadays, and you don’t need   
   much more than a decent browser (which is a given these days) to   
   manage that.   
      
   In other words, nobody cares about most of those existing x86-Windows   
   apps.   
      
   This site , as of this writing,   
   only counts 823 ARM-native Windows apps, with a pathetic average   
   rating of 1.0/5.0. The total traffic numbers don’t look like much; if   
   that’s a reflection of actual customer interest in the platform, then   
   it’s doing pretty badly, is all I can say.
