I didn’t hear consumer complaining about it much.

I recall people complaining about things like… was it docker? Other dev tools. But programmers are a niche, and a technically competent niche that can both get into trouble and find other solutions. It is essentially the opposite of consumer support.



A consumer is happy as long as they can run Edge on their computer and log in to Facebook. They will not complain about windows on ARM either.

However, we can definitely agree that certain sectors will struggle more with Windows on ARM. My intuition is that a lot of really conservative industries run on windows. Some with a bespoke program for Windows 95 they still keep running on XP.
