- simonh 6y agoOh sure, I'm aware of it but that's been around for decades. It's similar to the way Apple has a very limited single purpose compatibility layer for MacOS desktop apps on Windows that they use to run iTunes (and previously quicktime). It's a tactical solution to a specific problem, not an indicator of overall strategy.
