Powerbuilder 2025 will support ARM machine

Appeon released new information about the upcoming new version of Powerbuilder, which will support ARM processors. Finally!

In the next version of Powerbuilder 2025 R2 / R3, it will supposedly be possible to install on PCs or Notebooks powered by ARM processors such as Snapdragon or Apple Macbook with M chipset series (via VM with ARM version of Windows installed).

Hopefully, we can have all the same Powerbuilder features as the X86/64 version.
