BC Parallels, and VMware might release an ARM version a few months after receiving a developer ARM Mac Book Air and Windows 7 already has an ARM version.

I have no doubt that microsoft will make office compatible with arm architecture.
Why would anyone doubt that?
However non microsoft apps might be a problem.
But we'll probably see some of the big guns, in full version on arm. But then, there might be some apps that we will only see in stripped down versions.

JobApp, 30 Jan 2012I don't think any of the current smart phone would work on ... morewhy would it be?
I could understand 1280x720, as that is a HD resolution standard.... and there are moibles with that resolution. 1366x768 is not really the standard, but its compatible with 720p.
besides, windows usually run on lesser resolutions than the recommended

From some articles I've read, when Windows 8 boot, unlike previous Windows, It only load the necessary libraries for startup. This including services. Any other libraries and services will startup only when we really need them. So first load of apps may be a little longer while starting up libraries and/or services. CMIIW.

Windows ARM will have a harder time emulating x86, as x86 is still higher performance. ARM is not an upgrade - it's a sidestep.
It's not going to happen anything like Mac m68k emulation under PPC. The comparison is not good.

As a reminder - Apple was able to make older application to run on their new architectures during transition form Motorola 68k to Power PC and from Power PC to Intel... So it is perfectly possible to make Windows 8 on ARM to run Intel applications albeit slower of course.

Supporting Microsoft Office Web Apps on the ARM ones should be a good starting point for Microsoft Office apps

I don't think any of the current smart phone would work on Windows 8 because I think the min screen-pixel requirement is 1366 x 768.

kurotsuki, 30 Jan 2012Well .. if it perform at least exactly like it was on VM, i... moreBut what if you install number applications in your desktop? Because You cannot keep your system without installing applications.
Becasue I still remember when I have installed Windows 7 in my PC, first time it took almost 10 secs to boot and I was very happy to see its booting time. But as I have started installing software applications, gradually its booting has started increasing and now it takes more than 3 minutes. Its Horrible and pathetic.
I hope similar situation will not be there in case of Windows 8.
