It's already a well-known fact that Windows 8 on ARM tablets won't be able to run x86/x64 aka classic/legacy apps - but it looks like Microsoft is taking another step further to cement that difference. According to reports online, Microsoft is going to cut the desktop app from the ARM version of Windows 8 completely. This means that folks who use Windows 8 on ARM devices won't even have access to the classic UI of the operating system and will only be able to use the Metro UI. While this move might irk some people, I think it actually makes sense to do so.
Ubergizmo, Windows 8 for ARM tablets won't have the desktop app?
