I've read Microsoft will be supporting Windows 10 on some ARM chips which are usually considered Linux territory. Raspberry Pi 2, which is a quad core non X86 instruction set computer is advertising Windows 10 will be supported and free to developers.
Is Microsoft really going to push non X86 devices for Windows other than just for cell phones? If so, will Microsoft Office and other products follow? Can this have a positive effect on Windows sales??
I'm wondering what if anything Microsoft can charge for Windows on a device like the Raspberry Pi 2 which is more or less $35. Linux distributions are free, how can Microsoft charge more than a token amount for Windows on such inexpensive devices?
