Since Microsoft shared the first obscure hints of expanding the architecture horizon to include running Windows 8 on ARM processors, there has been rampant speculation and anticipation of what that will really mean when the OS finally launches. Microsoft’s Steven Sinofsky is providing some more clarity about Windows 8 on ARM (WOA), including the fact that it will have “Office 15” apps built in.

The Sinofsky post details extensively the techniques and technologies that WOA is built on, and how it will work. There are two points stressed by Sinofsky that I found particularly interesting, though – WOA will have the Windows 8 desktop and not just the Metro UI, and WOA will have “Office 15” apps built in.
