"There’s little to no incentive for Windows developers to update their apps for any reason"I assume you mean there no-incentive for them to update their apps to offer an ARM version, rather-than just not provide any app-updates full-stop (period)? As for the latter, of-course there is: fixing bugs and security issues for starters. So… does Microsoft really need to move to ARM? It does somewhat feel to me like it’s something people want just because other systems are doing so… Log in to Reply And sure, while Apple’s M1 and M2 chips clearly blow most low-to-mid range chips from AMD and Intel out-of-the-water, once you get to the high-end, such as the i9 and Xeon range, you can still get CPUs (and separate, discreet GPUs) that are more-powerful. But as Windows is mostly used on devices that remain plugged-in (desktops and laptops) then it’s not as major a concern.

I don’t-know why they won’t allow anyone to just self-build their own ARM PC, for example."They are actively building out x86 code with Windows 11"Are they? They have said they will no-longer ship the 32-bit kernel versions for Windows 11, but 32-bit app support is still fully-there, and no timetable as-of-yet for when Windows will only run 64-bit apps."… have not given any signal that ARM is the future of Windows."Perhaps the question we could ask is: should ARM be the future of Windows? For mobile-devices and tablets, that are mostly used on-battery, ARM makes-sense as it gives greater battery-life than 圆4 chips. "I think the reason is developers are not 100% sold that Microsoft is really in on ARM"Fair-point. You can download it from the Visual Studio website.

There is a single installer for Visual Studio 2022 17.3 Preview 2, so it will correctly detect your PC’s system architecture and install the right version. These workloads will be generally available by the end of 2022, Microsoft says. NET desktop development (Windows Forms, Windows Presentation Foundation) using both. And even this first build “significantly reduces the dependence on 圆4 emulation,” Downie notes, adding that it supports three workloads: desktop development with C++. NET Framework, and C++-at Build 2022 earlier this month.

Microsoft announced that it would deliver an Arm64 native version of Visual Studio-as well as Arm versions of. “Our key goal with this preview is to introduce and stabilize the most popular workloads used by developers who are building apps that run on Arm64, and to gather feedback from the community to help us prioritize additional experiences and workloads as we work toward General Availability (GA) later this year.” “This will be the first version of Visual Studio that will natively support building and debugging Arm64 apps on Arm-based processors,” Microsoft’s Mark Downie writes. Microsoft today announced that Visual Studio 2022 17.3 Preview 2 is now available, and there’s a native Arm64 version for the first time.
