I should mention that ARM for desktop has been slowly progressing for some time now prior to Apple, what I'm pointing at is renewed interest.

There's probably a non-zero amount of interest as well from countries noticing that having America have essentially full control of the global processor supply might be bad for them, and companies like Microsoft responding with support that goes beyond only really supporting x86.
