I _suspect_ that if "only a recompile" is required - then yes, many producers will produce an ARM version.
Otherwise - not so much. But that is only one man's opinion (mine). Regards, Michael B.

However Windows 8 will support ARM, just as Windows currently supports Itanium. Will there be a Server 8 that runs on ARM hardware? Big TBD there. Will producers of classic Windows apps port them to run on the ARM version of Windows? Another TBD. Carl (yes, I know that metro apps will run on ARM the same as x86/x64, but binary compatibility isn't a factor with those apps.) -----Original Message----- From: Michael B.

If they are compatible, I guess this could run Server 2008 x86. If not, well I guess a Linux solution is most likely... Regards, Michael B.
