Windows on ARM support?

Post by TechieExplorer »

Now that Windows on ARM seem to be growing legs, any plans to provide an ARM version of ExamDiff Pro?

We have no current plans to implement this. What kind of device are you using? On this device, does what we have not work?

I am moving workflows over to a Surface Pro 11 which is based on the Snapdragon X Elite. Native software flies in this device. Your current offering works, but for bigger tasks it is kind of slow having to run emulated. I mostly likely shouldn't be too hard to start building a ARM64 version. Really hoping you would consider something. A lot of WoA devices are gaining momentum these days.

It's not that we are never going to have a ARM64 version, it's just that we don't have an immediate plan do so. We certainly realize that it's going to happen. I guess one way to get there is to start using a Snapdragon-based device in house.

BTW, how much slower is EDP in emulation mode? Are you using 32- or 64-bit build?
