I know, I alluded to their Windows on ARM effort in the first 
post in the thread I linked.  I suspect it will be far too late 
and won't matter, just like Windows Phone.

That's funny, because you're the only one using that routine.  
I've linked to extensive data showing that Windows is already 
dying in the thread that I gave you, specifically my first and 
last posts in that thread.  You seem not to be able to follow 
such links and data, as you not only don't acknowledge but 
seemingly flatly deny the ongoing PC sales decline?  The collapse 
is next.

Do you see anybody out there using a UNIX workstation?  He's out 
there, that rare person who came up on it, and like you, says he 
will never replace it. :)

Unless you become a relic like that guy, you too will likely 
simply switch to a mobile device someday, docked like the S8 in 
its DeX dock.  Maybe you will be one of the few running 
Microsoft's rumored Andromeda device, as opposed to the 
mass-market device like the S8:

More likely you will use something based on Android, iOS, 
Fuchsia, or some new mobile OS.
