Did you indeed? Weren’t your past postings along the lines of “the 
revolution is here already”, and even that Windows-on-ARM might be 
“unstoppable”?

Only if you discount all the decades of past failures of Windows, on ARM 
and other non-x86 architectures. In other words, only if you behave 
exactly like the sort of corporate fodder that swallows the management
