Wine On Android Is Coming For Running Windows Apps
>>>So maybe WINE on ARM can serve to run WinRT applications
That would be a trick: How do you buy RT apps when not on a Microsoft-approved device?

Good question. I am not actually familiar with the specifics of WinRT; I haven't touched Windows regularly since the early 2000s.

Maybe you first buy them on a MS-approved device and either copy the app from that device or are able to get a DL link that works on the other device.

But that would make you buy what you want to avoid -- an MS-approved device.

Not everyone who wants to run RT apps on non-MS devices is trying to avoid MS in every aspect of their lives.
