Ask Paul: December 31 (Premium)

Happy, um, Thursday. No, Happy New Year! In this special lightning-round of Ask Paul, I tackle some of the questions we didn’t get to in this week’s AMA. I can’t get to all of them, of course, and some weren’t directed at me anyway. But I’ll do my best...
If not COD, then what?
krisarthur asks:

If COD Cold War isn't working for Paul - Which game will it be? What are the contenders? Which do you think might come out on top?

There are a few options. One thing I did do was prestige-up in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, as I still enjoy that game and I had simply left it stuck on whatever prestige, with all the weapons, perks, scorestreaks, etc. in place. Doing this makes the game a little bit harder, but it won’t relieve the boredom of playing all the same levels over and over again.

In another minor step sideways, I deleted Cold War and installed COD: WWII and Modern Warfare Remastered for a bit more similar/familiar and enjoyable COD gaming. But I also want to branch out. So I’ll be playing some DOOM Eternal and will finish Tell Me Why, which is a story-based title. After that, I’ll try to find some games in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate/EA Play. Plus, I’m testing various cloud gaming services, so I’ll be playing games elsewhere too.
Streaming purchased games
Jryoung86 asks:

Have you heard anything about the ability to stream games from my collection that I purchased but are not currently on game pass being added to Xbox Ultimate Game Pass Cloud Streaming?

This is an interesting question, and it would be amazing if Microsoft could somehow let us stream digitally purchased games from the cloud to whatever compatible devices. That’s not available now, so the closest we have is the ability to stream games that are installed on an Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S console to compatible devices running the Xbox app. With one caveat: While Xbox One currently supports streaming to Windows (like a Surface Pro or whatever), Xbox Series X|S can currently only stream to Android. That will change in 2021.
Windows 10X
RobotRaccoon asks:

Any word on Microsoft getting Win32 apps to run on Windows 10X like Apple is doing with their Rosetta layer?

The current rumor is that Microsoft’s hardware partners will ship the first single-screen Windows 10X devices in early 2021, but only to the commercial market (businesses, education, and government), and without Win32 compatibility. And that a second release, presumably in late 2021, will be aimed at consumers and will include the Win32 container. Obviously, Cloud PC could fill the gap in the meantime, especially for commercial customers.

Will 10X be the version of choice to run on future ARM machines, or will we be dependent upon virtualization software like Parallels to do the heavy lifting?

One of the many odd things about Windows 10X is that when Microsoft was discussing it publicly, it said that it was Intel-specific. I feel like Windows 10X might even make more sense o...
