  As you say, Windows on non-x86/non-x64 has never materialized to any
relevant extent. (The HP-PA version was another failure missing on your
list. Or did you mean HP-PA when you mentioned Itanium?)

  I think an ARM-only Windows is extremely unlikely to happen. There's
way too much 'legacy' code out there. And no, re-compiling, let alone
porting, is not going to cut the mustard.

  I hope that with 'translator' you mean a run-time environment which
can run unchanged non-x86/non-x64 code (i.e. things like .exe, .dll,
etc.).

  Their 'track record' for the last 20 odd years has been 'sub-optimal'
to put it mildly. But yes, it *can* be done. The question is, can
Microsoft do it?
