Windows-on-Arm ecosystem migration stories and maturity
summary
Developers report concrete migration wins: switching build targets to Arm64 yields about 30% faster vector-math on native runs versus emulation, a Chromium-based browser and TensorFlow.js workloads show roughly 3x faster JS and ML inference, and multiple apps (Brave, ILSpy, dnSpy, Taiga, PowerToys) compile and run natively after replacing x64 targets and swapping Arm64 packages. Tooling used includes Visual Studio, .NET 6, WSL2 containers and custom SDK builds; some ports require C++/CLI, UWP to WinAppSDK moves and iterative fixes.
