Microsoft Windows is going to go the way of the IBM 360, and the Remington typewriter;  completely irrelevant today;  holding on by only momentum -- but definitely in the death throws.
and how many of those billions are desktop cpus? maybe you don't use desktop, that is not the case for hundreds of millions of people doing their job on desktops and using them at home too. what really is irrelevant are those fairy tales from google telling BS about using tablets everywhere instead of desktop PCs. I would be glad if google or anyone talking this crap really were forced to use their shitty tablets for doing their job. Like if you are jabbering about this all the time, do it. let google do their "tensor flow thingy" on tablets. Big Grin Aside of the "cloudy" marketing bullshit, in reality, people use PCs and will be doing so for a feasible future. If cars will be flying in the future, they still are cars. Flying ones. PCs get miniaturized, fan-less, a lot of modernizing, but remain what they were in the past, - the closest and most important computing device for a human. Arm is almost non-existent on the desktop/server PC range. Which is the ultimate market for any vendor. I don't know why. Maybe because it's still more profitable, than with those "billions" devices where nobody cares what's there? Or because it's a much more general, universal, capable, complex platform than tablets, phones or anything with the narrow application. People tend to spend more time with it and it's "closer" to them. More intimate, don't know how to say that. As a result, people care more about what's inside of their PC than what's inside of their home router or camera. And thus this market is the most attractive for CPU vendors. I guess arm wants to get on desktop and server. Why it is almost non-existent there? As a partial reason it's because arm sucks yet at performance compared to x86, but it is power-efficient, more "green" so to say, which is good and not everyone needs an ultra-speed desktop for their use. The main reason why arm is not existent on desktop is absence of a normal desktop OS on it. "normal desktop OS" is an euphemism for "Windows". Wink You don't like this fact? It's ok, you can play with linux. But millions of people need the "normal OS". Big Grin
ANT - my hobby OS for x86 and ARM.
