syngularyx writes "Over at Microsoft's MIX Developer Conference in sunny Las Vegas, Microsoft has demoed a new preview build of Internet Explorer 10 (which you too can take for a spin, if you feel so inclined), and also dropped a little premature Easter egg – the build of IE10, and the underlying Windows OS, were both running on a 1GHz ARM chip. Sneaky."

    CLR/.Net stuff should run fine I imagine. Also, I remember Alpha had FX32! which would run x86 code at decent speeds using static recompilation and that was many years ago now.

    OS is short for operating system. Flash has nothing to do with the operating system.

    I know Slashdot has gone downhill in the last ten years, but are you sure you're on the right site?
