Windows 10 nowadays supports both ARM and ARM64, so I see no problem 
there.


And it is from Sinofsky, who is considered to be good in the tech 
department, but bad in the visionary department (he was resposible for 
the tanked Windows 8 "vision", and Microsofts failed ventures in the 
phone and tablet world)


I stopped taking it serious when I read "iPad", "work" and "touch" in 
combination. While I have a current iPad, it is still no more than a 
better ebook, pdf and web page reader for me. Even answering mails works 
that bad that I prefer typically to wait till I have a real keyboard to 
type it.

Obviously he would say that - working for Apple. Apple marketing at
work. :-D

Not just that... Considering that Apple-on-the-Desktop market share is
only around 9% (as or Jun 2020). I don't think Microsoft has anything
to worry about just yet  - sitting at a comfortable 87% market share as
of Jun 2020.[1]
