They tried pushing CE to the consumer market.
In fact, CE is the kernel underneath all Windows-based phone OSes before Windows Phone 8.
Really, seeing if HP was open to licensing FX!32 to them would've been the best bet - throw up a warning that x86 software will be slow, but it'll run, when installing it.

I mean, it's not like arm isn't powerful enough nowadays. My Note II outperforms my sisters' first-gen-atom netbooks in every way
bhtooefr:
Well, on a 500 MHz DEC Alpha, you had best case performance of about a 200 MHz Pentium Pro, when running FX!32 on a program that had been well profiled (and some stuff was deep into 486 territory performance-wise).
So, on a 1.5 GHz Cortex-A15, you're looking at performance somewhere in the ballpark of a slow Pentium II - we're talking something that makes an Atom look like a speed demon.
mtmerrick:
On the a15 - is that single, dual, or Quad core?
bhtooefr:
I should say, that'd be per core performance. And, that is just a ballpark figure.
