ARM Says Microsoft Software Opens Door to Televisions, Cars

ARM Holdings Plc, whose chip designs are used in Apple Inc.’s iPad, said Microsoft Corp.’s adoption of its technology will help Windows software expand into cars and televisions.

ARM may start generating royalties from chips using its technology in Windows-based laptops and tablets as early as next year, President Tudor Brown said in an interview today. Microsoft’s use of ARM technology will help the Cambridge, England-based chip designer gain market share, he said.
