It also took MS forever to have an ARM version of Windows...

  Depends on your definition of "Windows": Windows CE ran on ARM in the 1990s.

    WinCE was really their most accurately named OS to date.

    Nowadays "Windows" usually refers to "Windows NT"; not Windows 9x or Windows CE. Windows NT was highly portable. It ran on PowerPC, Alpha, Itanium, and a whole lot of other architectures. The same is true for iOS.

      True Then they dragged their feet and kept Windows 2000 x86 only (I think - maybe they had an Itanium version) they had a half-ready x64 version of Windows XP
