Notch: "I'd rather have minecraft not run on win 8...
Windows RT tablet users will be unable to run the game simply because they're ARM machines
I'd be
extremely
surprised if Java doesn't get ported to WinRT. Especially because they've already done the work to get it running on ARM linux.

Would you be extremely surprised if Java doesn't get ported to iOS?

Not really. iOS was locked down well before Oracle had Java running on ARM, so getting java on ios wasn't a particularly reasonable goal. Getting Java on win8 arm is a reasonable goal.

What are you talking about? Java was running on
OpenBSD
on ARM years before the iPhone even existed. Years before Oracle even owned it.

win8 arm is already locked down. You can't have a JIT engine on it.

Will Windows RT (aka Windows [8] on ARM) not allow .NET apps to run then?
