Not Project or Visio, however, in their full and current forms. I hope Project never goes that way entirely as I’ve had to work in secure environments where there is no network access.Exactly this. When BootCamp was released, it seemed like Windows would be around forever and would have to coexist with macOS because of the overwhelming number of workplace apps and workflows that were customized for Windows and would never have macOS versions.
The world has since shifted to cloud apps that work in a browser — including on a Mac. Microsoft itself has been pivoting to cloud computing and many of their most important apps, including the Office suite have macOS versions that work cross platform.
When I began at the startup I’m working at, I consolidated our systems into GSuite (now Google Workspace) and everyone works on their own Macs, PCs and phones and it all just works. None of our Mac users need Windows and none of our PC users need macOS. Everyone just needs a browser and an internet connection and we’re all highly productive in our workflows.
There may still be a remnant of dinosaur IT departments who haven’t updated their infrastructure to more modern cloud computing but they’ve become a small minority as seen in the dwindling demand for BootCamp. I guess there‘s still a demand for Windows for gamers who own a Mac but that too is shifting to the cloud.
Not for gaming.Parallels is soooooo much better
I don't see how that's apt to go very far when the infrastructure for high bandwidth Internet is barely out here...[...] I guess there‘s still a demand for Windows for gamers who own a Mac but that too is shifting to the cloud.
This is why I am keeping my 12 yr. old 24 in. Cinema Display (just fixed it by replacing the LCD last week for $120 - in hindsight, completely worth it vs $1599 for new Studio display that has 90% the same functionality). Works great on Boot Camp/Windows and MacOS. Plus, it was designed in the era when it had engineering/product development oversight from Steve Jobs. Hope it lasts the next decade. إن شاء الله مَا شَاءَ ٱللَّٰهُ
Odd - I don’t see it in my Utilities folder in Monterey…I hate that Apple mocks me by still including the BootCamp app on my M1 machine, and even crafting a nice compatibility error at launch. Thanks!

Ah, yes, but I’m the guy who took 10 years to finish Half Life 2 (much to the amusement of my son, who now works in the video games industry) so I doubt it would affect my abilities ?Not for gaming.
Apple straight up said they would support it if ms released Windows arm to the public. It’s rumored they aren’t because of said deal.When Apple announced Apple Silicon they mentioned the usage figures for Bootcamp had fallen dramatically over the years. My guess is there just isn't enough demand to warrant the effort.
On the Microsoft side I suspect they would rather you subscribe to an Azure virtual desktop.
I played all of Half-Life 2 on my MacBook Pro 3,1. That, and using it as a network render node with Lightwave and Carrara, probably is what killed it (thermals).Ah, yes, but I’m the guy who took 10 years to finish Half Life 2 (much to the amusement of my son, who now works in the video games industry) so I doubt it would affect my abilities ?
It can play doom- fingers crossed ?Hope some hacker gets iOS UI to work on the display, or install linux on it.
Dual boot, or standard or another OS.
I have one of those with the gray spots issue on the screen underlayer. Good to know that fixing or replacing the screen is not too expensive.This is why I am keeping my 12 yr. old 24 in.

That 5.7 MB app is just the front end. it doesn’t contain the drivers, the partitioning, etc.It's a shame, too. BootCamp is a Universal App on Apple Silicon but no way to utilize it at all.

Oh I know. But just that Apple made a Universal version of the app for a machine that can’t use it because of a Licensing issue with Microsoft..That 5.7 MB app is just the front end. it doesn’t contain the drivers, the partitioning, etc.
Not that I could see. I updated my Boot Camp drivers on my W11 partition and no brightness controls and I tried with a Dell XPS w/ Thunderbolt and no brightness controls either.Does that mean that you will be able to adjust the brightness within Windows?
I was very happy with my 24" until the backlight circuit died earlier this year. I would have done the same as you and either tried a component level repair or swapped out the entire LCD, but I was ready for the upgrade anywayThis is why I am keeping my 12 yr. old 24 in.

Wow, they couldn't even be bothered with removing it from M1 machines? I haven't even checked for that on my MacBook Pro M1.I hate that Apple mocks me by still including the BootCamp app on my M1 machine, and even crafting a nice compatibility error at launch. Thanks!
You sure you didn't get that copied over by restoring a Time Machine backup or similar? My M1 mini doesn't have it.I hate that Apple mocks me by still including the BootCamp app on my M1 machine, and even crafting a nice compatibility error at launch. Thanks!
No, M1 MBP upgraded from Big Sur.You sure you didn't get that copied over by restoring a Time Machine backup or similar? My M1 mini doesn't have it.
