Although recently, Windows market share has been more or less reduced, but this OS still accounts for about 90% of ARM's PC and speech market share is quite well-founded. However, Windows 8 running on ARM-based devices will not be compatible with applications designed for x86 processors, but will only run programs developed for the Metro interface, an interface that is quite controversial.
