Yes,

The ARM desktop is using an older Adreno chip. This isn't a problem for me at all... I am not doing anything during the week that would utilize the GPU. I used the ARM desktop daily for about 3 months and didn't really see any difference during light office usage.

Unfortunately as others have pointed out most of the software on the Windows platform is built for x86/x86-x64. I did not have this problem when I drove Debian for a few weeks... I could simply recompile the packages.

Best Wishes,
-David Delaune
