Initially, ARM-based computers were not popular due to poor software compatibility. However, Pavan Davuluri, Microsoft’s vice president of Windows and Devices, told the press that the company has solved the application compatibility issue for “the vast majority” of customers. Photo: The Verge . |

According to Bloomberg , the Surface line only accounted for about 2% of Microsoft's most recent fiscal year revenue. However, these are Windows devices designed to compete directly with MacBooks, creating a highlight for Microsoft's computer ecosystem. Photo: The Verge . |
