How is that remote? We've already seen Parallels Desktop virtualize Linux for ARM.
- ogre_codes 6y agoAs far as I can tell, you can't buy Windows for ARM, you can only get a license by buying specific hardware. Aside from that, most people who want Windows support on a Mac want support for x86 Windows, not the ARM version. So even if it does run, it's likely to be a hobbyist/ hacker thing, not a product.
- comex 6y agoWindows for ARM has a built-in emulator for x86 binaries, so I think most users trying to run random legacy programs would be satisfied with it. (Gamers, not so much…)
