As we know, what solutions will be offered, if any, for those desiring to run Windows app on Mac silicon remains to be seen.
One interesting piece of news that just came out today - Microsoft has been doing a lot of work on .NET 5 for ARM. For those that don't know, .NET is a framework that is foundational to running apps on Windows. If you check out this rather geeky article, the interesting part is that performance has been significantly increased across the board, almost doubled, in running .NET on Windows ARM. Could there be a hidden motivation for Microsoft's work in this arena? Is this work justified for just the Surface Pro X? Or is there another platform, another partner, that could provide a bigger market opportunity for Microsoft ARM solutions? Hmm, time will tell, won't it....
