Most likely something like Qualcomm (or another similar vendor) saying that they refuse to provide the vendor kernel, and will just ship Windows on ARM instead.

- fowl2 2y ago> "supporting Linux on laptops with Windows on Snapdragon" blinks rapidly edit: I guess if you squint really hard to read "Windows" as "PC-style operating systems" (or "general purpose computing") it makes sense?
- arghwhat 2y agoHmm, maybe they are referring to a specific branding used on recent models, e.g. a "Windows on Snapdragon" sticker similar to "Windows 8 Ready" and stuff. Linux laptops still tend to be special order or niche brands, but there is nice positive traction in that space.
- k8svet 2y agoThis is quintessential MSFT. I have absolutely less than zero doubt that there is a informal/formal agreement that they're called such. They always pull this crap. And then their OEMs realize later that the "Windows 8 Ready" sticker is almost more of a pariah.
