I'm all for an increase in CPU speed in mobile devices. Better graphics processing, better performance and less loading times due to limited CPU speed & cycles dedicated to system processes.
But, then again, I'm the type that wants more speed since I already know the apps I use are good and will see more in the future, I don't really care for anything else outside of that. Call me stupid, call me ignorant, call me whatever you want, but my point is clear. All I, as the consumer, want is what I want and "I'll take the CPU for $1000 Alex!"

Microsoft should be really scared if ARM's initiative takes off as this is a segment it cannot compete in (none of the drastic measures they used to fight their way back to netbook space is available with an ARM in the arena - except for bribery and blackmail).
Using Microsoft resources it should be a matter of months to have a fully working NT on ARM architecture. Especially with a lot of WinAPI already present on WinCE platform.
Having a core not tied to Intel was the main reason Microsoft bought NT.

However, there is now a lot more platform inertia.

The ONLY advantage of Atom processors are x86 support
