Not content with making bold claims about the performance and efficiency of future iterations of its Atom processor line, Intel used its investor relations day to point out just how much better Windows would be on Intel than on ARM.
Intel Senior Vice President Ren�e James said that Windows on ARM would offer no backwards compatibility at all with existing x86. Instead, James said that Windows on ARM processors would exclusively offer a new, mobile-oriented, touch-friendly interface. In contrast, x86 versions would include both the new interface and a "legacy" interface suitable for conventional laptops and desktops. x86 systems would, therefore, offer the best of both worlds: a new interface for new tablet form factors, and a conventional interface for the enormous body of existing x86 Windows software. The chance of ARM ever running such software? In James' words, "Not now. Not ever."
