macOs 12 was not unveiled this year. Mac was on version 10 for 17 years, last year updated to 11 to signify the change Apple Silicon.

Windows 11 Will Run Android Apps From Amazon Appstore

Thanks but no thanks.. 99% of users bought apps through the Play Store, why would they want to double pay potentially to run an app in Windows.. What was MS thinking! I guess they are in a war with Google in some ways and Amazon might have thrown them some money too I am sure... but this is a loss for the end users imo.
?? It will still be Windows and can run all Win32+ Windows apps. They're not talking about a platform change, just software.
Unlikely. ChromeOS is pretty imbedded in education where most of the Chromebooks are sold. Android support from Amazon will likely have very little effect.
Nope they take 12%. 0% if you bring your server, payment…
Selling Windows and Office -- their market share is a lot bigger than Apple's.
They can name it anything they want, but it's still Windows. It just doesn't work.
That is an interesting question! And their own ARM machines too...
I think the biggest problem is that Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0, and Apple devices don't even have TPM chips (T2 is a distant relative and proprietary to Apple), so I have a feeling we're dead in the water anyway regardless of what silicon we have.
Not true. macOS Monterey is labeled as version 12.0.
Looking forward to Windows 11. Super glad they didn’t go the fisher price route like apple did with big sur and retained actual power user functionality at a glance
I was complaining yesterday about Apple and now Microsoft, many are gonna need a brand new PC to run Windows 11, sigh...good luck finding brand new parts in times of pandemic.
Funny how everyone is saying Win 11 looks a lot like MacOS. Times are changing.
The dark mode on Windows 11/10 is just better than the **** we have on macOS.
Who cares a stupid dock on the bottom. What it matters is the performance and stability, macOS fails in these subjects.
Big time. macOS Big Sur on my 4xxx i7 is a total slog and freezes frequently. Latest build of Windows 10 runs like a dream on it.
I doubt the hardware itself could be emulated, that would kind of undermine the entire point of having a Trusted Platform Module. From what I've read, the physical chip needs to be present in order to engage and pass along keys/signatures. Maybe someone could possibly write a TPM software emulator to talk to Apple's T2 chip, but without Microsoft's explicit confirmation for running W11 on all silicons including Apple Mx, I'm not exactly confident in anything right now.
Windows 11 can run Android apps so you can get even more opportunities to load malware and virus onto your PC
macOS Monterey should be 12, right?
It is just a matter of marketing and numbering after all.
I've personally have had problems. Not with the apps itself, but it's impossible to use iOS apps let alone games.
Every computer, every device has security issues. It doesn't matter if it's Windows, Android, Mac, iOS. All of them have security issues and that's a good thing.
Nobody buys anything from the Windows 11 store so if does not matter if it is free or not! That is how!
Well, first there needs to be a commercially available version for Arm… maybe that is coming with Win11…
