Where is windows server 2019/2022 arm64?
Guys.. You do realize that this is about having a business case? Microsoft is not a charity. Where's the ROI in wasting hundreds of developer hours porting windows server to ARM? Eventually, it will happen. But you need to realize that what pays for Windows server are enterprise customers with license subscriptions.
Eventually - I guess this will take a few more years - ARM-based servers will displace traditional x86 ones. Simply because the power efficiency is making it a super compelling use case. And once that starts happening, msft will have to release Windows Server on arm. They will lose a lot of ground to Linux otherwise.
This is not assuming the effort is a charity case. It's much more about laying the groundwork and a roadmap for an architecture that is absolutely going to overtake x86 in the long run. Whatever time it might take is being wasted on waiting for someone else to do what you have been waiting for. Why wait!?
ZenZenPup Just look at HP printers software, I cannot help I guess the cause is the same. And if my guts are right, the ARM story of Microsoft will be stucked where it is, …. unless you invent the solution on your own, and make a ton of money with it first … Microsoft could then acquire it like Xamarin. Being born in a famous Brahmin family who is interested in it could be an advantage.
