Microsoft: Next Version Of Windows To Support ARM
Microsoft Corp. announced yesterday that their next version of Windows will support System on a Chip (SoC) architectures with support for ARM-based systems from NVIDIA, Qualcomm and Texas Instruments, whose ARM-based SoCs are popular in the handheld device market today. This shouldn’t come as any surprise – NVIDIA president Jen-Hsun Huang puts it well: “Windows on ARM represents a seismic shift for the computing industry. ARM is already the largest and fastest-growing CPU architecture in the world, and today’s major news of Windows will only accelerate its adoption.” What implications does this have for other ARM-aimed OS solutions?
