For the past few years, Microsoft has pursued the idea of launching a computer operating system Windows 10, oriented at full processors from Intel and AMD, on mobile devices, equipped with ARM-chips. All mobile solutions are much better in terms of battery life, but they use a completely different way to interact with the operating system. However, American corporation has found a way out of this situation,, which became Windows OS 10 ARM.
In the end 2017 year showed the world the first device, running on Windows-based 10 ARM. So far, they have not gone on sale, but because no one can say exactly, with some restrictions will have to face their owners. At the time of their announcement Microsoft made a bid for an impressive battery life, when one laptop battery can work about 24 hours. Release of an operating system is aimed at, that oust gadget position on Chrome OS, Android и iOS.
A few days ago Microsoft has posted on the documentation with information about the network, which features contains a build of Windows 10 ARM, designed for OEM-manufacturers, that is, to install it on the computers at the factory. As many had expected, the new operating system was just disgusting in every way, because its functionality is terribly cut.
In particular, new "Windows" for devices with ARM-based processors only support drivers for ARM64, and this would lead to incompatibility with older peripherals. Applications for x64 on Windows 10 ARM does not work and the work will never be, ie the launch of most computer programs can forget. Many games using OpenGL simply will not run due to the numerous restrictions. All programs, changing the operating system interface, will not work properly.
In addition to all this,, even programs, written in modern times, may find, they are running on the mobile device with ARM-processor, rather than a full-fledged computer. To solve this problem, developers will have to make changes in the code of its software, and do it, not all. Besides, Hyper V emulation platform in Windows 10 ARM does not work, but because most of the applications, emulators can not work.
If summarize, the functionality of the new "Windows" incredibly strong cut. It will not run almost all modern games, and old peripherals, which include even a mouse, refuse to work. Many serious program, designed to work with graphics and video, на Windows 10 ARM also will not be able to work. With all of these obvious shortcomings, The new operating system was abhorrent to mobile devices computers. Microsoft has not specifically told all these restrictions to users, so as not to cause outrage among fans.
