@explodingwalrus From what we know so far, its correct that ARM-based Windows 8 tablets won't be able to run legacy Windows apps that are built upon the Win32 API. Windows 8 on ARM will be a legacy-free environment.

If you require apps that need to run in the Win32 environment, then you'll need to purchase a tablet, ultrabook, desktop, etc. that has an X86 (AMD or Intel) processor
