Windows on ARM situartion has not looked pretty. Windows CE is old. Windows phones look to be on free fall out of matkets.

Windows 10 IoT on Raspberry Pi is one plan for getting some life support for Windows on ARM.

Microsoft has not forgotten ARM. Soon Windows 10 will run on ARM processors and even run x86 apps! Will this finally make ARM as sensible CPU for portable Windows gadgets? Hard to say, but it seems that Microsoft is at least trying.

    Sources: Minecraft Pocket Edition will no longer receive updates for Windows mobile devices

    We received a tip earlier today that Minecraft Pocket Edition will no longer be supported on Windows mobile devices.

    Since receiving the tip, we have confirmed with sources familiar with Microsoft’s plans that Minecraft Pocket Edition will no longer receive updates for Windows Phone 8.1 or 10 Mobile, but it will still be available in the store.

    users spending time in Minecraft PE for Windows 8.1 and 10 Mobile is reportedly very low

    At this point, I’d say it’s pretty clear that the future of Windows on mobile devices lies with full Windows 10 on ARM, recently announced for future handsets powered by the Snapdragon 835 processor.
