CPUs execute instructions... you can create a program which is run by the CPU ... you can not program the CPU itself. this is the same for both intel and ARM. intel is also proprietary but ARM licenses its architecture to many other companies. Also Android is open source while windows is not. If you know how you could download Android source code and change it in any way you want to do anything you want.... much more than what you can do with windows.
I think you’re confused between software and hardware programming. They are two different things…
Your gadget will only allow you to programme software within its
preset hardware scope but you cannot make it any smarter than what it’s been manufactured to do because its hardware is
not expandable and programmable.
OK GR. "Expand" and "program" your 80286 to do what my smartphone can do and then find a way to resize it to make it 100grams, to fit in your pocket and run without wires. When you do that I will agree that smartphones are useless
Next year you will have to toss your “smartphone” (read annual
preset box) out the window and buy the next
preset version because it is not ADAPTABLE to change like the 80286 processor which you undermine!
But those who had the 80286 didn’t care when technology moved from ISA to EISA because the 80286 could be instructed to handle that too when it came out!
That's the power of fully programmable processors...
