I just hope that, from the end user's perspective, they pull this off as smoothly as Apple managed the PowerPC to Intel transition. I'm taking it for granted that most .NET applications will work on Windows ARM out of the box, but that won't be nearly enough. If people can't run existing native x86 Windows apps on this, it won't be thought of as "real Windows". Legacy x86-only Windows binaries will be around for a long, long time given the enormous size of the Windows ecosystem.
