It sounds like non-embedded Windows may end up being available for platforms outside Intel again. Long ago, Microsoft Windows NT supported MIPS, Alpha, PowerPC, Itanium, as well as x86/x64. Embedded Windows supported many other processors, including ARM. And Microsoft already has ARM-based Surface devices, and Windows 10 for ARM-based RPI2.
