  2. "releasing an ARM version of Windows requires very little work" haha, that must be a joke. Even if it were the case it also requires that every Windows software company on the planet now needs to release (and manage and test) an ARM version of their software. We know how well that went with the Windows RT based MS Surface 2.

  4. This Intel + AMD story just shows that a single competitor can lead to better prices and outcomes for customers, WHILE both companies remain viable (Intel still made a ton of money while AMD struggled more but survived). It Intel was allowed to keep prices very elevated the PC boom might not have played out as violently as it had.
