Previous rumors have suggested that the ARM version of Windows 8 could come out earlier than the x86 version

Why not? It's not like the ARM version has to undergo extensive
regression testing with existing applications when there are none.

Spill the beans? Are you sure it isn't more like "common sense"?

Did anyone really believe that there would be more magic that would allow ARM to run the entire legacy of x86, and that compatibility problems will just be solved? Amazing the FUD that ARM has generated. I actually think that Intel has an obligation to set the record straight, if nobody else is.

Itanium, Alpha, PowerPC, MIPs.
