Given enough firmware and driver support there's no reason why Windows 
and Linux should be any different---they certainly aren't on x86.

Right now Windows on ARM is just tablets and hence RT; but things might 
change for server-based ARM.  So Windows support as a VM should 
definitely be on the table, but so is writing custom drivers: you 
certainly will be able at some point to build virtio drivers for ARM, 
and use them with this spec.
