What Microsoft has been saying about Xbox lately strongly implies that this is a Windows handheld designed to solve software and user experience problems with using current Windows handhelds. And signs are pointing toward the next Xbox console coming sooner than the next PlayStation and essentially being a PC running a console version of Windows. Some speculation on my part, but I’m not the only one coming to those conclusions.

    So, Microsoft – how’s Windows for ARM coming?

    Phil Spencer doesn’t know his employer makes ARM computers. Not even Microsoft Solitaire Collection has a native ARM port.

      All the Solitaire devs seem to care about these days is money and enshittification. Spending time on architecture ports is the last thing I’d expect from them

      It technically does, but you won’t be able to run the Windows Phone 8 app on modern Windows ARM.
