Danger! Danger! Microsoft is doing it again...

Have you heard of Universal Windows Platform?

It appears Microsoft is trying to create an API to develop apps that work on all Microsoft platforms:

• PCs
• Smartphones
• Tablets
• Game consoles
• HoloLens
• IoT devices

As you may have heard, Apple is working on their own ARM processor for their next generation computers. This means any applications made for x86 processors will not run.

Is Microsoft going follow Apple and eventually kill all x86 compatible applications as well?

Since WUP supports C++, C#, F#, JavaScript, and VB.NET to develop apps I'm going to imaging x86 compatibility is still supported for the unforeseeable future. But what happens when they decide to go full Windows-As-A-Service platform or only support ARM processes for their games?
