  • Rosetta 2 lacks support for x86 virtualization, Boot Camp not an Apple Silicon option [u]

    Disappointing but predictable. Given the ubiquity of “cloud” or platform agnostic apps - maybe not a big deal.

    Still, I see a big impact on development for Microsoft Office AddIns that were previously cross-platform. Not to mention the AI accelerators just now being natively integrated in Excel. I don’t see how that gets ported to Apples hardware.

    Native apps are still a huge and important market. Some things just cannot be ported to a web interface economically or with appropriate security (see: Autodesk and every other engineering design platform)

    As massive and powerful as Apple is - it simply cannot compete with the wintel software world and that has always been its achilles heal. The only exception being Adobe.

  • Microsoft Surface sales boom amid tepid iPad demand

    RoyTyrellRoyTyrell
    The iPad pro is a transformational product. Particularly for the enterprise. It will take some time for software buildout to get up to speed to MS platform - but it will happen. Companies large and small are still "kicking the tires" but as soon as we meet crtical mass on apps that can both offer productivity (ms office) and connect to ERP (that is in the works now) - the floodgates will open. Reasons:

    1 - iOS is inherently more secure than every other device out there. The hardware level encryption architecture is pure genius. There does not exists a mobile platform - civilization or military - that defaults to more secure communication.

    2 - Enterprises can lock and configure in a way they cannot on a full os device such as windows.

    3 - Remote wipe

    4 - Employee users will appreciate not having to be dragged into Court and be treated as criminals until proven otherwise (ie: stealing of trade secrets). A company which provides employees with iOS devices will not have to worry about having data pilfered by employees or goverments hacking into devices.

    not an exhaustive list...
