SAN FRANCISCO-- Using Windows 8 on ARM (WOA) devices “out of the box” will feel the same as on x86/64 PCs, and both versions will be released at the same time, Microsoft has said.
In a long and detailed blog post called “Building Windows for the ARM processor architecture,” Steven Sinofsky, president of the Windows Division at Microsoft, said WOA would represent a “no-compromise” experience and would “look and feel just like you would expect.”
