![]() Because the compiled code for older x86 programs is compiled to a different command set than ARM uses, they can't be run natively on an ARM processor. Windows RT devices run on ARM processors, which use a completely different command set (One that is much more restrictive, but also far less bloated). Programs built for this kind of processor from any language (C, C++, Java through the JVM, Ruby, Perl, literally everything that isn't already written in Assembly) is compiled down into that assembly language to interact with the processor. This is an instruction set defined by Intel, shared by AMD, at the processor level (Assembly code) that controls how computers actually interact with the physical hardware. ![]() Traditional Intel machines (like the Surface Pro, and every Windows desktop in the past twenty years) use an architecture called x86. ![]() Here, let me try to explain it in a way that makes sense!
