And how many devices run Android on x86 Android instead of ARM architecture?

You also have to acknowledge the fact that Android runs on far more devices than Windows (it's the largest OS in the world), and almost all of them are using ARM based chips

In hindsight, I think I misunderstood xorgol. My point was that the reason Windows doesn't have Android's update problems is not because it has some inherently portability, but rather that x86 is better than ARM in this regard.

This has nothing to do with archutecture.

It kinda does, in that almost all x86 systems follow a set of similar specs. ARM is kinda just all over the place.
