@Chills I was talking about the Infranet, not the Internet. I still have a bunch here in the room with me. You may call them pieces of paper, or even notebooks, operated with pens and or pencils.

WOW! Pens and pencils.....  I have heard of them in folk tales.  Do you live in a museum ? 🙂

Actually I always have a pen and notebook on me. Through I more often use a propelling pencil.
Though it is amazing me that some teens don't own a pen/pencil and  if it is not on their phones or tablets they have no idea what to do. 
We have created a monster.

I haven't seen any indication of a different build, and I have no information about how Windows handles X64 programs on ARM.

There are incremental x64 app translations as well as fully native ARM builds.
 

1. Starting as a fully emulated x64 workload
2. After recompiling the most CPU-intensive parts as Arm64EC
3. After continuing to recompile more x64 modules over time
4. Ending result of a fully native Arm64EC app

 

Apparently users can get a glimpse if the applications main executable is partial or fully using ARM64EC by looking into the Task Manager

 

Quote

Windows Task Manager can also be used to identify if an app has been compiled as Arm64EC. In the Details tab of Task manager, the Architecture column will show ARM64 (x64 compatible) for applications whose main executable has been partially or completely compiled as Arm64EC.

The Arm64EC thing is kind of interesting, but it is basically a transitional tool for developers to use to gradually provide native ARM64 ports as part of the development process, it is not how the "emulation" Windows provides work.

My comment was more that I don't think Serif is doing this at all - I don't think they are explicitly transitioning their apps to ARM for Windows (yet?) - so they are likely fully "emulated" at this point (in whatever sense Windows "emulates" x64 under ARM64 systems).

I think that's probably correct, though perhaps they did some enablement work to at least allow it to run in this mode.
