Really?
Let me see...
The vast majority (about 99%) of commercial software is provided only for Windows;
The vast majority (about 99%) of Windows software is provided only in a binary;
The vast majority (about 99%) of that is built only for x86.
So... 99% of 99% of 99% = 0.99 x 0.99 x 0.99 = 0.97 = 97%.
Those 97% of users are currently stuck with a Wintel machine. With something like this, they can run their applications on an ARM tablet.
Potential users:
Warehouses (inventory management)
Hospitals
GPs
Any small companies running any kind of accounting software
Kids playing games
...
Any of those have a more legitimate use and a more pressing
need
for running an x86 application on an ARM machine than you have for running a Linux on... just about anything
