Everyone knows the tale of Brand X getting bought out by some faceless global conglomerate and going to shit, but does the opposite ever happen?

Right gotcha, wasn’t aware there isn’t an installable windows for ARM specifically.
I know though, that’s kind of my point, the landscape and way in which windows works on way way more configurations compared to Mac (simply due to the differences we’ve both pointed out) makes it not quite a fair comparison, Apple controls all aspects of the hardware and ONLY their hardware (or choice of hardware) is made to work with it, so it’s much easier for them to develop and force people over to ARM or whatever specific system they’re pushing developers and users towards, whereas windows is much more backwards compatible and users/manufacturers/devs have a lot more options out there.
Similar to Android vs iOS, it’s a lot easier to tightly control and force certain things when you’re the arbiter of where people can install apps, what hardware it can run on, and every design aspect.
That’s fair. I guess I figured after over a decade since Windows RT first released, and with the popularity of ARM starting to ramp up, Windows would be in a better position, with hardware and chip makers working with them to ensure support. I suppose most of the ARM devices have been hobbyist devices using Linux.
With the success of Apple Silicon, it seems like a lot of companies are looking into making their own chips. If Microsoft isn’t careful they might miss this boat, the same way they missed mobile.
Definitely true
