Windows 8 on ARM SoC

Windows invariably meant the OS for the x86 processor. that, in turn, largely meant processor chips from Intel. This is picture that started right from the time PC revolution started and continued until now. For a brief time the Windows NT was offered in PowePC , MIPS and Alpha processors. None of the chips achieve any kind of significant numbers and when the next version came out, these supports were not there.

 This definitely looks like the point when the WINTEL stranglehold on the huge majority (remember, AMD too plays!) of PCs might change. Not too soon though, this may take a while.
