Glad to see it! I'm hoping to see more ARM laptops on the Windows side as well. Can anyone comment on the advantages/disadvantages of Microsoft's approach to running x86 code on ARM versus Apple's? (As far as I understand it, Apple is using some kind of ahead of time recompilation, while Microsoft is using emulation?)

The main advantage is that knowing Apple’s past transitions (68k -> ppc -> Intel) they will get third party developers to write native software and not be dependent on the emulator. Apple will then drop the emulation layer and have a more efficient platform. Microsoft both never drops backwards compatibility and third party developers never transition.
