How so? You said Windows doesn't run on ARM, it apparently does.

You were wrong. Irrelevant or not, you were quite wrong on that part at least. And Windows Phone 7 runs on ARM.

Even if MS would take upon themselves to do something about it, a windows system includes much LESS software than a typical linux distro does.
Not when they recompile everything that's using the x86 ISA to use the ARM ISA.

Windows *might* be possible on arm by 2020, that is, if they manage to hire some good coders first.
It runs now. 2011. And if good coders were a prerequisite, then surprised that Nokia didn't put more on MeeGo to get it finished.
