Why not? Windows 10 for ARM can run x86 apps.

• notRobot 6y ago
  ...very poorly. And only 32-bit apps.

    Yes. It appears that Rosetta 2 beats Microsoft's x86 emulation by a long shot. I wonder how they're avoiding Intel patents.

      What patents? All Apple is doing is translating x86 instructions to ARM instructions, they’re not emulating the processor.

      Keep in mind that current macOS runs ONLY 64-bit x86 apps and interestingly Windows on ARM emulates ONLY 32-bit apps. Since 64-bit extensions were designed by AMD, maybe they have some deal with them?

  I wouldn't expect Windows for ARM to run on Apple's custom chips.
• moduspol 6y ago
  I did not know that. Perhaps it's just to temper expectations then. If the performance or user experience isn't comparable to what today's users expect, it's probably better not to celebrate that use case.

  > Why not? Windows 10 for ARM can run x86 apps. Nobody who has ever attempted to use it would claim this.

    Why?
    • Mindwipe 6y ago
      Because to all intents and purposes it doesn't work.
