M5 after Intel disapointments

It need money for all I use to run fine on Intel macbook pro, why? Rossetta is last chance, if not what I need I am going Costco.

I have a good friend who had apps not working. For some reason, they had to download Rosetta 2, but then things worked for them (it was not necessary to download Rosetta 2 when it first came out - the OS installed it automatically - but that may be different now). I hope this works well for you. Some apps that needed Rosetta 2 now run natively on Apple Silicon, which generally is much faster. Some of the companies may require upgrades, even requiring money, for the Apple Silicon versions simply as a way to extract money from their users, unfortunately. This likely will not be different if you switch to Windows.

it is actually quite simple to keep the support going by adding translation/emulation layers like roseta, no need to 'hinder future advancements' (whatever that is), but it is much more profitable to simply force people to pay again and again for the same things. It is working wonderfully for apple.

Maintaining compatibility also isn’t free.

It means maintaining deprecated APIs to keep the system secure. That’s not free, and it doesn’t encourage developers to actually port to your new more performant, more secure system.

The intel switch will be a little bit of pain for a while, but we’re at the point with M series Mac now where they can actually run older X86 operating systems under virtualisation using something like UTM reasonably well.
