Microsoft has officially confirmed that the next version of Windows will support processors based on the ARM architecture. This statement was made by none other than Steven Sinofsky, head of the Windows and Windows Live Division at Microsoft.
Thus, we can say with confidence that the next version of Windows will be compatible not only with Intel and AMD processors, which are known to be based on the x86 architecture, but also with NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Samsung, Texas Instruments and other processors. True, whether it is called Windows 8 or it will have a different name is still unclear.
By the way, during the Microsoft press conference on the occasion of the opening of CES '11, Stephen Sinofsky also demonstrated how Windows and Microsoft Office work on systems using ARM processors.
