And that’s going to lead windows to release better arm versions and maybe more losses for intel down the line.

Future Windows on ARM could be as bad as android smartphones are today with locked down boot-loaders and unsupported driver chipsets. God help you if your windows ARM chip is a Qualcomm one. You’ll never be able to update your pc after 3 years or install an an alternate OS on it. ARM is also owned only by a single company the x86 instruction set is owned by two companies ( intel and amd ) intel and amd would rather develop an open source RISC-V architecture then pay constant licensing fees to ARM

I wonder if Microsoft would be open to buying Intel...

Bad idea, unless you want to accelerate the trend of paying a subscription fee to unlock the full potential of the hardware you "own".

That's the perfect way to finally push me away from Windows.
