Use case for me; I use a MOTU 828x for audio I/O, and they never moved the firmware updater past MacOS 10. I used a Macintel MacBook Pro and Bootcamp to do the job, but this would be useful for one-off jobs like this.

Don’t you still need a PC to stream? They’re not providing it, are they?

Good to hear he’s recovering. That’s scary stuff.

15 years ago this former coworker laughed at me for using a Mac and an iPhone. He loved Windows and couldn’t imagine life without his Android phone. A few years later he needed a tablet and realized iPad was the only game in town. He was seduced by the beauty and simplicity and that pushed him over the edge and he finally bought an iPhone. It was only a couple of years before he finally made the big jump and got a MacBook. Now he’s been full-Apple for quite a while and wondering what took him so long.

Sorry for the long story, but I was trying to illustrate that any product can be an “in” into your ecosystem and, while I’m sure Apple figured out the numbers and didn’t take that decision on a whim, it may be shortsighted. Platform switching is a long game.
