ARM Taiwan President announced that his company worked with Microsoft to develop new architectures. It's a story that did not fail to arouse the curiosity of the press, but nothing else was available about this collaboration. We know that Microsoft is interested more flea Advanced RISC Machine. Windows 8 should take charge of their instruction set.
Nevertheless, the question of the compatibility of x86 applications still pending. Microsoft so far has shown that programs and drivers recompiled for the platform, but he could try to offer a translation system on the fly to ensure backward compatibility with existing applications. ARM might have found in Microsoft partner Intel will never be.
Finally, this partnership could enable Microsoft to optimize its operating systems compatible ARM, mostly Windows 7 Phone and variations for tablets. He could then find the technological advantage that is lacking today and that he knew during his unofficial relations with Intel. Anyway, it is likely that this partnership will result in an exchange of licenses and technologies.
