  • Apple-led ARM computer sales resilient, as PC industry declines

    If that was true then MS would not have created

    They would also not have ported the full version of Visual Studio to ARM windows.

    Since they have done both the evidence is not on your side.

  • VMware Fusion 13 adds Windows 11 virtualization for Apple Silicon Macs

    Still no macOS virtualization on Windows or Linux hosts regardless if old Intel or ARM. Go figure. So why would one want to run Windows on macOS? That must be very interesting reason if everything is there on Mac's and supposedly better.
    I assume you are simply trolling but no one says that macOS has everything you ever need and that it is all better than Windows. The fact that we have had virtualization for decades makes that pretty obvious.
    As I said only as host - macOS is not a client and never was. Before accusing of trolling maybe you should study a bit more difference and virtualization subjects. Otherwise, you are nobody in IT especially in virtualization space where banks use it extensively. I am chief architect at one of NYC banks.

    And as far as better, yes it was once when Jobs lived. I was using virtualization products then on Mac OSX and not only Fusion or Parallels. Still only host system not capable to be client. Hence, nobody uses it in finance. Everybody uses virtual desktops with Windows and servers on Linux or Windows.

    Where did you see macOS in commercial large scale use?

    Still believe that macOS is better? Think twice.

    And as far as "better", have you tried Windows 11 Professional or you just another village fool who judges world after seeing only his own yard? I literally tried most systems and far more than most forum posters probably over last 30 years in IT. Windows 11 Professional may easily displace macOS now. In fact, I still support some macs, but Windows 11 starts really being step ahead of macOS. Also crowd around Apple is what Microsoft was 10-15 years and before. Microsoft is far more modest and supportive than Apple as it used to be.

    Seriously, your judgement  of "better" seems to be very impaired.  obviously, you lack of experience.

    If 200,000 macs deployed at IBM supported by a team of just 7 people is not large scale deployment I don't know what is.

    If you are a chief architect then you lack judgement for suggesting software be used in violation of its license agreement.

    I doubt you are as you'd be using Enterprise SKUs of Windows not 'Pro' if you were.

    There never will be macOS is only licensed for use on Apple hardware whether running directly on the hardware or under virtualisation.

  • Apple & Spotify now fighting over audio books

    They do you just don't understand what it is they are doing.

    In terms of what Apple should do it's very simple:

    - if your app is free then Xcode and AppStore distribution is free

    - if your app costs money but does not have an out of App Store subscription then Xcode and App Store distribution is free.

    - if your app is free but has an outside App Store subscription then Xcode costs $1000 per year per user (roughly what Visual Studio costs enterprises) and you are billed for hosting and data transfer based on number of downloads of your app quarterly in arrears.

    - if you want to have a 3rd party App Store then Apple should allow it but turn off all features which require the Secure Enclave to function when a 3rd party store is installed.

  • Apple hasn't patched critical vulnerabilities in macOS Big Sur & Catalina

    A lot of business run a 'one behind' strategy for macOS and replacement cycles are usually 'when it breaks after the 3 year warranty has expired' thus there are a lot of Intel based machines running macOS 11. I can count about ~1000 in my company.

    Wanting a statement of what is supported until when is necessary for vulnerability management and MS providing this is one reason that Windows is still ahead of macOS in large enterprises.
