The news is hidden near the end of the article. There is rumor that Microsoft is working on some sort of x86 virtualization/emulation on ARM, for their Continuum technology, and this news is that Qualcomm is building something in their ARM chips to make that possible.
Not a rumor anymore. They just announced they are working on it in partnership with Qualcomm and it will be available next year.
Many may consider parent as snark but this is a really great point. I wish the article had elaborated on this.
Well i could have sworn that both Intel and AMD have recently announced that they will not support anything older than Windows 10 on their products going forward...
I am guessing this is the norm in ARM. It seems much of the fires in the Android update scene can be attributed to this.
