I recently have heard of an ARM-based edition of Windows, with the full desktop experience and an Intel emulator to allow it to run Intel software on ARM.  I belive Microsoft has their own ARM-based PC with this version of Windows pre-installed.  I haven't seen many ARM-based Windows PCs yet, but perhaps they'll become more common.
