Oh, absolutely. For some reason Apple seems to have filled Microsoft's role as the big bad legacy bad guy with vendor lock-in. Is it even possible to run macOS

Oh, absolutely. For some reason Apple seems to have filled Microsoft's role as the big bad legacy bad guy with vendor lock-in.
Is it even possible to run macOS in a VM on non-Apple hardware with a non-macOS host yet? Microsoft provides free VM images for every OS and browser version you might want to test against, Google provides the Android devkit that works cross-platform. But if you want to target macOS or iOS it seems you're still stuck buying Apple hardware for $$$ to do anything. And don't even get me started on the lackluster support for PWAs -- at least the fallback for those is a web app that still works in the browser (provided you have Apple hardware to test it on).
EDIT: Also Microsoft has moved React Windows into its official GitHub org and advertises it as an official way to provide extensions to Office.
- k__ 10y agoIs it a problem, yes? I read a few blog-posts yesterday that explained how to get Mac OS Sierra running on VirtualBox on Windows. Well, it's only 16€, so I will try it next week. It seems like MS thinks their only way to win something in the "mobile war" is pushing PWAs. And maybe they're right. Most people use the iTunes or Play Stores. They need to get devs off these platforms and show them that their tools are the way to go if you don't want pay taxes to Apple or Google.
