Nice!

Even though I'm not a heavy windows user, I was really excited to see a site that nerds out on Windows-on-ARM news. Been considering getting one of the new surfaces since they were announced, and it'd be a nice community to have.

I ended up writing it off after reading, it was really disappointing to see a smooshing together of multiple LLM responses*

I love LLMs and believe people should use them for writing, but if you can't notice and edit out multiple concluding paragraphs...I certainly can't trust the instructions sets that were added, or the selection of games listed, or really anything at all.

* inter alia: two unambiguously concluding paragraphs, same # of items in bulleted lists, unnecessary 3 item bullet lists of proper nouns, that'd usually just be a phrase with commas

Adding support for AVX2 is nice, but the priority really needs to be nailing down x86-64 emulation that works for existing Windows software first.

To me it only makes strategic sense for Microsoft to enable its OS on more than just Intel
