Surface Pro X...what an awesome machine

No loss here. As I said, I bought an iPad Pro.

If recompiling is so easy, why isn’t EVERYTHING native ARM by now? What is the point of WOA if everything is emulated?

If you think that there is “no difference” between native code and emulated code, then you are drunk on the Microsoft kool aid. Everything will be much faster and battery life will be WAY better without running everything in emulation.

Great decision.

Indeed. It’s like the old saying about owning a boat: The 2 best days in the life of a boat owner are the day you bought the boat and the day you sold the boat.

What about the day you blew the boat up in an elaborate insurance scam? Maybe that's just me.

I don't get what the issues is at this point.... we have been hearing about Windows on ARM for half a decade.

Friend got one and let me use it... runs fine if all you want are basic windows apps. But four programs I tried to install... didn't work right.

I use a Surface Pro for the Apps my iPad can't run.... to buy a Surface that won't run those apps, and doesn't have much of an App Store of it's own. I'll have to wait a while for them to work out the issues.

So Surface Pro 8... is what I'll be getting when it comes out.
