Microsoft says “Prism” translation layer does for Arm PCs what Rosetta did for Macs

What Apple did for Macs when switching architectures, though, was to port their own software to the new architecture. Microsoft doesn't even port fucking Minesweeper to ARM.

Why the fuck would they name it PRISM?

Prism is definitely a bad name , Edward Snowden knows

I don't see this working. The reason that Apple and ARM work is because Apple controls the whole ecosystem on Macs.

I don’t really know if ARM adds benefits I’d really notice as an end user, but it’ll be interesting to see if this really goes through and upends the dominant architecture we’ve seen for really 40+ years.

One of the biggest problems I had with windows on ARM was drivers. Most of my devices that needed drivers didn’t have an arm compatible version available. This needs to change more urgently than simply being able to run software, for me, at least.

…It took them only 4 years to follow the leader this time.

I can hear the game launchers laughing. If EA doesn't have a native version of their app out, that should be every reviewers first test.

LOL if MS says it then you know it's the exact opposite.

While they are at it, can we get Prism for Linux?

now we need some sort of hw-accelerated x86_64 layer but for linux
