So server based and arm like processors are the future I guess. And they will milk the money out of all w10 possibly even android users wanting to use pc based apps or PS4/5 emulators. lol

With power on demand, even 8K gaming would be possible.

Some of my colleagues use MacOS because they find it more comfortable plus the software they need can be found on MacOS. on the other hand, I like windows more, to me macOS is restrictive plus not as versatile and obviously some Softwares I Use cant be found on MacOS.

I hate emulators,
They are slow, sluggish, inefficient, drains battery and full of bugs.
Microsoft is wasting its time.

ROFL it's like Win32S system that let 32 bit exe's run on 16 bit. It was **almost** usable. This time there's a hope because virtualisation and emulation is mature and Microsoft were actually breaking some new ground with Win32S.

Sadly their pocketable device is not media and camera friendly and in their tablets I would rather see not an ARM but AMD, which is actually on top in performance for 15W processor category.

Adul Al Salami Kebab, 02 Oct 2020That is false, the mobile chips is nowhere near the desktop... moreMobile can do what X86 can do and beyound with a fraction of power supply.
Everyone has been constrained due to MS and Intel selfishness and their stubbornness sticking with legacy code and their precious X86 Dinosaur Architectures for BC with 32 bit systems.
In 2 years you will turn back and will remember how they bad mouthed Apple for this move.

Can't play the best games. Can't customize. Can't access system files. And many more. On the other hand Windows is very easy to use and advanced users can tweak it too.

About time, Microsoft! Would love to see how Adobe CC softwares cope with ARM chipsets.

Will stick with MacOS with less bloatware, bugs, better performance. Windows OS license can also be easily faked.

Hardware Hypervisor, 02 Oct 2020I don't think it's appropriate to call it x64.
W... moremaybe it's simplify things for average user, so they knew that they can install a x64 programs even their processor is Intel, not AMD. I mean it's confusing for average person to understand "this programs works on x86 and amd64" they gonna think that it's need amd processor to run it at 64bit.
we're geeks the reader of this site know why it's called amd64, but not for the average user, maybe microsoft just want to make it easier to understand.

I don't think it's appropriate to call it x64.
Why not call its original name which is "amd64"
Because let's face it only Windows call it x64
Other OSes like Linux don't do that
