I think you're missing a fourth option: VMware or some open-source tool doing dynamic binary translation to run Windows on an ARM CPU.
As far as I know, qemu can do this today.
- saagarjha 7y agoNote that this is somewhat slow.
- chongli 7y agoI doubt performance is a major factor for an ERP. Emulation should work just fine.
- Mister_Snuggles 7y agoYeah, and this is just the IDE for writing code for said ERP and some other development tools. If anything network performance is more important than CPU performance - the IDE is very chatty when it talks to the server.
- Lammy 7y agoI'm sure it won't be as slow as SoftWindows95 was on my 66MHz PPC601 around the first time I lived through predictions of the Mac's death due to an architecture change :)
- cosmotic 7y agoThere were a handful of emulators that did this for windows back in the days of powerpc Macs. Softwindows and virtual pc come to mind; virtual pc IP is now owned by Microsoft and theoretically part of hyper v.
- Mister_Snuggles 7y agoIf this worked as well as the PowerPC emulation in MacOS did then this wouldn't be a bad option. The Windows-only tools that I need aren't terribly CPU-intensive, so even a modest performance hit would be tolerable.
