Initially I was kinda upset over the transition but now that I have very solid remote solutions in place for Windows & Linux I actually don't care that much. In the years following though Apple has really proved themselves though in having the most competent OS imo and they can risk switching architectures. Had Apple not done that then I think they'd still be languishing in obscurity to this day - particularly with the mass number of devs they have now on their platform.Įven if an ARM architecture would have been ready for them to jump from PowerPC to ARM back in the day they'd have skipped over an entire generation of devs that switched to macOS or OSX at the time BECAUSE it was intel and they could finally play nice with Windows and Linux if wanted or desired. I used to emulate PowerPC on x86 too before Apple released 10.4 Tiger on x86 officially and it was such a night and day difference to finally have a native port to x86.

Clearly it can be done better when you know your APIs well like Apple and MS do and they can write software layers to handle x86 compiled exe's - doing that to an entire OS is impractical though. As more essential enterprise apps are web-based in 2021, having a great browser that’s always up-to-date is more important in a lot of ways.Just the reality of going cross architecture with an entire OS. I’ve been using apps like VMware Fusion and Parallels for a long time, but my need for them day to day grows smaller by the year. Wrap up on Windows virtualization on Apple Silicon
It’s a much more scalable solution than managing a completely separate Windows installation on a fleet of Macs, though. If organizations need to virtualize a Windows app across their entire fleet, they are probably using something like Citrix, though. There are still situations where customers will want to virtualize Windows on macOS, though. I don’t think Boot Camp will ever make the transition to Apple Silicon, though. I think I’d rather run Office than use the Google Drive suite of tools if I had my choice. The macOS version of Microsoft Office is one of the best suite apps on the Mac. Today, most core enterprise apps are either web-based or cross-platform through technology like Electron.

In 2005, most enterprise apps were still Windows-based, and the 2004 version of Microsoft Office wasn’t comparable to the PC person. I think it’s important for Apple and Microsoft for Windows virtualization on macOS to continue, but it was not the same as it was in 2005. Is Windows Virtualization critical in 2021? Long term, it’s in Microsoft’s best interest to make Windows on macOS continue into the future. But the Macs are certainly very capable of it.”

But that’s a decision Microsoft has to make, to bring to license that technology for users to run on these Macs. “We have the core technologies for them to do that, to run their ARM version of Windows, which in turn, of course, supports x86 user mode applications. So what’s holding up Windows on Apple Silicon if you want to run it natively? According to Craig Federighi, it’s a Microsoft decision.Īs for Windows running natively on the machine, “that’s really up to Microsoft,” he said. Why can’t Apple Silicon run Boot Camp on Windows?
