There was a Win10 objective though. To justify a Cloud orientation,
you have to cover all the users devices, from x86 desktops, laptops,
to ARM tablets or Windows Phone. They even have a version that
runs on the RPi (although graphics are gimped to a static image,
as the OS in that case was for "running the hardware" and not
intended as a replacement for a regular desktop).

I think Windows 10 was also offered as an installable option
on one of the Android smartphones.

Could I run a legacy win32 application in every case ?

Well, that's where the users aspirations come in.
Damn those users for expecting stuff to work for them.

*******

The transition for Apple, from x86 to ARM, is great for
their business plan, disruptive for their users. Take
me as an example. Sitting right next to me, right now,
is a PowerPC Mac, a G4. Now, look in the room. Do you
see an x86 Mac ? No. Why ? "Disruptive". How do I feel
today about an ARM version ? Are there enough adjectives ?

There are actually three Macintosh computers in this room.
What do they have ? All have PowerPC. Continuity. Continuity
helped make the sale.

So while Apple can change CPU families and "manage the transition",
guess what they lose when they do that ? They lost *at least*
one customer... By making an orphan of my software collection,
what else would you expect me to do ? There's not enough
reality distortion field for that.
