"Didn't NEED to be, but it was so fast emulated x86 performance on M1 Macs was comparable to native x86 performance on the Intel Macs they replaced."

Yes, but I'm not so sure this holds for actual 3D graphics games? Spinning on the CPU is one thing...

I run Windows 11 (ARM version) in Parallels on an M1, and it runs native X86 software. It's quite fast and responsive too.

If Apple and partners can do it, so should MS be able to. If they only had the will. I suspect they are still in bed with Intel, however.

How's Trump, the Putin licker, doing? Demolishing the WH now?

Re: Very strange

Only Pootin sends unprepared soldiers out to die for nothing. On horses now, no less.

Re: still cheaper

"still cheaper

than the cloud"

Who says "the cloud" it the only option?

Re: Tesco will be apoplectic

I'm pretty sure Tesco is leaving VMWare. It's just a question of suitably punishing Broadcom while doing so (and pocketing something from it).

Good on Tesco!

Re: Tesco will be apoplectic

Glad to hear that Tesco has the technical chops to do this. Not all companies, even large ones, have enough in-house expertise.

Making yourself totally dependent on external expertise isn't a good recipe for long-term success.

Re: Support costs

That sounds more like petty revenge. Not that I care what sugary condiment they want people to put on their excuse for food.

LOL, yes. Got the message in the 80s.

Re: Untested workarounds

Seems to support Mac. Ask if you can move any license to Mac, unless already permitted.

A Mac Mini M-anything will smoke most Intel stuff, just get enough RAM. Not to mention higher end M-somethings.

Re: Untested workarounds

Let's be realistic here. Government officials enjoy vey nice kickbacks for any closed deals with large software vendors.

Re: EUS is available for free for a year for non business users

Oh, a whole year?

Wow.

"as pointed out in another comment, having no social media presence might itself look strongly suspicious."

Really?

Re: Shocked and Appalled

"Um, you're shocked and appalled that downloading a binary file doesn't create a duplicate of the original?"

Ehh isn't that *exactly* what it does?

I've never heard of a system that transport physical bits over a wire.

Isn't "fascists" accurate enough?

Re: wtf

Larry David had a couple of episodes of "Curb" with this theme.

Re: The land of the free^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hbullshit

Check the news.

Re: No social Media presence

Of course it's much, much safer going to China.

Haven't you kept up with the news?

Re: Some of hese comments seem to miss the point

Yes, the AI summaries often contradict themselves. This may be a good thing, as it reveals how little intelligence there is behind the scenes. But it may also be a bad thing when people lacking in intelligence use these AI summaries. Examples I've seen include things such as claiming that half of 1.8 is 0.7.
