Microsoft's Project Centennial App Bridge makes sense of Win32 apps on phone

Microsoft's move to bring full Windows to ARM has ignited a debate about the viability of Win32 apps on a smartphone-sized screen.

It's understandable to be skeptical — we've been promised for years a future of "your phone as your PC", despite many failed and aborted attempts from a number of supposedly capable companies. But Microsoft and their partners are closer to realizing this goal than ever before, as evidenced by Continuum and HP's Workspace implementation on the Elite x3. Unaltered legacy apps projected onto a large screen via Continuum is certainly one logical application of the ARM tech. HP's Workspace scenario also exemplifies how win32 apps would execute on the PC in the pocket concept.
