Apple's market share for Mac OS could afford to have some people jump ship, I can only imagine the shareholder's response if Microsoft just started over with a new architecture on the PC side, they'd probably lose ground to Apple, Linux, Google and never come close to achieving the current market share dominance. That's not to take anything away from Apple for doing it successfully, the new Macs seem pretty great, but, I think they're in a better position to do it than Microsoft. So you can just throw some shit out there, I've already seen tons of Apple architecture transitions at this point in my life In that sense I think it's actually easier for Apple to do that because they already had so little PC market share and relatively few super important programs that absolutely must be there. Microsoft waffles even on their Windows 11 security requirements, let alone all the legacy code. Click to shrink.I don't think it's really that hard, it's just, Microsoft would have to outright cut the cord if they wanted to do it, but so long as they offer a x86 version of Windows where all the software already is few people would shift over to another architecture. ![]()
