>ARM and RISC machines What OS would they run? Linux? I wonder if Windows will ever run on ARM/RISC?

  Windows already runs on ARM.

    Oh wow, I didn't know that.

      The groundwork was done for embedded systems, but they added the desktop features and even make a few laptops with it now. But those are generally not very well-regarded, since the x86 emulation is slow and there is basically no native software.

        Windows has run on non-x86 processors from at least the 90s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT#Supported_platforms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT#Supported_platforms

        Oh, well that's not so good if it's just emulated x86.
