Episode notes
The discussion delves into the evolution of Windows OS versions, contrasting user preferences for different versions like Vista, 7, 8.1, 10, and 11. It highlights the challenges faced by Microsoft in introducing ARM-based PCs, citing the example of the Surface Pro X in 2019 with the ARM-based Windows on ARM system, which ultimately failed due to compatibility issues with 64-bit applications and slow emulation. The hardware quality was acknowledged, but the poor battery life and limited application support made it unattractive compared to Intel-based models. The conversation reflects on the unpopularity of Windows on ARM among OEMs and users, especially when juxtaposed with Apple's successful M1 processor, which surpassed Microsoft's ARM PC endeavors.
