I asked for a version of MC for Windows on ARM.
Now, with the Microsoft Surface Pro a nice device is available (unfortunately not with a display larger than 13'').
How about JRiver to support the new platform?

Install MC34 onto a PC that is running Windows 11 for Arm and you will soon see that a new Arm only version of MediaCenter isn't needed.
Right now I've got MC34.0.19 running under Windows 11 for Arm, admittedly thanks to Parallels it is running on my M4 Mac Mini

What's about latency? Especially in a Server - Renderer - Controller configuration like mine an emulation could slow down, I assume.

If you don't want to risk having an emulation causing a slow down then don't buy a PC that can run Windows 11 on ARM because it is going to be running in X86 Emulation Mode.

Thanks for advice! Now, I still use the best TabletPC ever build, the Surface Book 3 - the 15'' display alone combined with the pen is the most advanced device so far and not too heavy for holding it. Unfortunately, since there isn't an ARM processor inside and now getting older, the build-in accu is getting empty pretty quick. That shouldn't be an issue with the new processor. I don't understand, why Microsoft doesn't has a successor in the pipeline; don't they - and JRiver . want make money?!

Probably because, as usual, MS turned up late to the party - every Apple PC and laptop introduced since 2020 have had an M Series ARM processor in them and most of the ones introduced since November 2024 have the 4th generation of that processor on board.
