  • Microsoft's Steven Sinofsky calls Apple Silicon strategy 'fearless'

    "As an example, he cites the transition to 64-bit computing on the consumer-level. Microsoft began the shift around 2003 and continues to support 32-bit to this day. Apple, on the other hand, started requiring developers to make 64-bit apps in 2017 and dropped support for 32-bit apps in 2019 alongside the release of macOS Catalina."

    This comment is a bit disingenuous.  Apple started their transition to 64bit in Mac OS back in 2005 and only in 2019 did it drop support for 32bit.  Yes, that's better than Microsoft's record but not what Sinofsky appears to imply. 

    This is totally fair. I corrected the post. At that comment I was more focused on the announcement of the transition than the arc of the whole feature which did start in 2009.
