It will be interesting to see how that goes.  And with Microsoft making Windows 10 for ARM now too, I'm wondering if ARM-based PCs will start to become more common, and how that might affect the home-built PC market.  I've always liked building my own desktop PC, but so far I haven't seen any ARM-based CPUs (or motherboards to support them) that you can go out and buy to build your own ARM-based PC.

I haven't followed Windows 10 for ARM much, but I do remmember seeing an article a while ago saying Microsoft had developed a version of Windows 10 for ARM that can run desktop apps.  I heard it also has a 32-bit x86 emulator to allow it to run 32-bit desktop Intel software on ARM.
