So it will be the same W8 running on x86 and ARM, but on ARM legacy Windows apps will not work. |
And? Did you expect legacy Windows 7 apps to run on ARM architecture? Don't be silly! That is impossible without some kind of emulation, no very safe actually. I am not surprised, are you? And that's not an issue. Why do you think is Microsoft unleveling Windows 8 so early, probably 18 months before its release? Answer: To give time to the developers to create or adapt apps for Windows Metro or/and ARM architecture. So, Windows 8 is expected to have a good amount of apps running in all architecture by the time of its release.
