Unless the new ARM chips can handle VirtualBox well, I’ll pick up the last intel model. I have to work with old ASP apps in IE VMs side-by-side with stuff on my Mac every day.
- jbverschoor 6y agoIf it uses the virtualization kit, it shouldn’t be a problem. Unfortunately only veertu, xhive, and part of parallels do so
- tinus_hn 6y agoIE is dead and will be gone before Intel Macs are.
- claudeganon 6y agoI know, that’s why I run it in compatibility mode in a VM. Just because it’s dead, doesn’t mean there aren’t organizations that have built mission critical web apps that only work in IE and those of us who have the burden of dealing with them.
- tinus_hn 6y agoYou’ll be able to do that for so long that by then you can emulate the whole OS it runs on in a web browser. It’s obsolete after all.
- r00fus 6y agoWhat's the state of using cloud Windows images vs. local for this sort of testing?
- claudeganon 6y agoDunno. The free Windows VMs I have saved can be reloaded in VirtualBox and used pretty much forever. They can’t run any serious software very well (on my old MacBook anyway), but I’m just using them to support some legacy web apps.
