Or, I would suppose, x86 and x64 apps. That's the main reason I run Windows; the mile-wide app compatibility.

Looks like at least 32bit x86 apps will run. http://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-on-arm-it-will-be-mo...

They say x86 apps will run under emulation. I've got no clue how well that will work in practice, though.

Edit: found this ARM compatibility chart in the zdnet article

And I get that you use x64 Windows for the compatibility, but this isn't supposed to replace that Windows. This is a product for an entirely different market: the market for tablets and netbooks.

Understood. But for me at least I can enjoy the same functionality with my old Toughbook carrying a few extra batteries :-) (Yes I understand not everyone wants to do that.)

Oh, totally. I think these LTE ARM Windows devices are neat; I don't think they're for me, though.
