 As soon as ARM Macs proliferate, My guess is that the landscape
 changes as the number and visibility of ARM chips increases.

 Wasn't there an ARM port of Windows 10 for IoT dev? I could have
 sworn MS made at least a trimmed-down version available to
 developers.

 There were some attempts at low-power, efficient ARM servers a while
 ago, if memory serves.
