This will be great for Linux users, and Windows users won’t care at all, because Windows on ARM is an absolute shit show.
Until it’s revealed all the features on the chip need specialised closed-source drivers, and none of it will work very well until it gets an open source implementation in 5-10 years, and even then there will be limitations.
Well that would only be shooting themselves in the foot.
