One of the reasons that Windows 7 was so successful is that Microsoft did an enormous amount of work with hardware manufacturers to ensure that AT LAUNCH it had driver support for just about every piece of hardware on the planet. I hope very much that the board manufacturers will make sure that they provide Windows drivers for their boards in a timely manner, otherwise there is a very real risk that Windows on ARM will be a short lived project.

Chris, have you seen or heard of the 'indiedroid nova' yet? It's a really great board thats aimed more at multimedia applications. Nonetheless, you can get it in similar specs as the Opi5, but the emmc is changeable like the Odroid boards. I've recently had the _pleasure_ of doing some dev work on it and it's a new rk3588s board. it's quite impressive how the community of developers have rallied together behind the scenes to work out all of the kinks in support for these boards. I've not tried the Opi5 yet, but most of the Chinese manufactured boards are quite similar. The rk3588s is really a quite impressive leap forward by rockchip when compared to their second in line, the rk3399.

Random info but latest insider (25357) is like 3% faster in most tasks than normal stable release of 22621 as there were some arm specific optimisations made.

Perfect timeing for this i was just looking at orange pi's strage how much orange pi's have gone up in price

Well Chris you are right about ARM taking over from x86, & it's about the Cores, MAC has 16 Core CPU's everybody else will play catch-up to Match Performance, I like the Orange Pi 5 myself, it is quite quick, I use a Crucial 500gb M2 NVME SSD & Network Port Functions for me, I thank you for removing any notion of installing Windows 11 on a Pi 5 on a Dare ...

It is impressive but again it does illustrate the continual barrier to progress on such architecture, the lack of manufacturer provided hardware accelerated GPU drivers in too many OS's.
