@feld Windows still can only run on x86 and AMD64 (with a ton on x86 cruft).

The ARM builds heavily rely on a x86 JIT for most of the OS (as they can't get it dumpster pile to compile).


m$ has had an agreement with apple to provide a version for macos for decades, as they understand that apple has plenty of money to throw at reverse engineering their proprietary office formats and write programs that can semi-reliably read and write them (thus giving freedom enjoyers two different implementations to reverse engineer and use to improve libreoffice), so they opt to provide a office port to keep their iron grip on governments and businesses (although the poor malware authors they employee have to suffer to keep the dumpster fire compiling on multiple architectures).
