rluker5 I may be biased, but all I could think of when reading this is: Windows on a phone please! Windows on ARM in setups that aren't particularly power constrained isn't going to be a noticeable change if everything goes perfect for it, so what is the point? Windows on an ARM phone, or low powered x86-64 phone for that matter, would change a bunch. There has been enough processing power in phone form factor since the (by todays standards) pathetic 2w 22nm Atom tablet wave 10 years ago. And that was with x86. High end ARM was faster in that form factor even then and the compatibility issues are being dealt with. The basic phone apps for Windows Mobile worked great. Also any time I have the chance to do something paperwork related on pc instead of mobile I go to the pc version. I want to be able to dock my phone and have it be a weak pc synced to my pcs, and I want the option to try to do the same things, albeit struggling with a tiny screen, when I'm not near a dock or pc. And I would definitely want a stylus with a Windows desktop phone. And I want that stylus to have right click functionality somehow. Also it would be nice if it could work with project to this display. And at least a USB4, if not thunderbolt port on it, for the dock, or a quick manual hook up if needed. Doesn't have to have the latest and greatest processor either, just something in the upper midrange at least. Reply

I really don't give half a crap about the Google ecosystem or the Mac/iPhone either. I don't like that Microsoft moved in the Google ecosystem direction with all the user tracking, spying, and telemetry though. But now that we're all monetized pod creatures in one form or another… But you never know, I could rebel, install Linux, GrapheneOS, and maybe even Haiku OS. Reply

The store seems to be locked out or shut down now though so whatever I've got on it that's it. But my x86 Leagoo T5c still works as does my old 22nm atom tablet. That thing barely runs Windows, but it does and it gets 177 multi and 46 single core in CPUZ. I know modern chips are much faster even at really low power draw. Reply
