> The technology isn't exclusive to Apple, but they are the only company which pushes it, even if it sometimes means quite odd display resolutions. Apple's focus and commitment can be a pain to users who want something different, but overall it's a huge strategic advantage. Software developers are building their apps for M1 because they know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Apple isn't going to keep Intel around any longer than they have to, whereas Microsoft had and will continue to have a hard time persuading anyone to adopt ARM Windows because the opposite is true.

That would imply split-brain development. Yes I agree that devs will support M1 out of necessity in supporting a minority market share OS that will expand from M1's apparent superiority.... But Wintel will own business desktops for probably a decade, unfortunately.

  > But Wintel will own business desktops for probably a decade, unfortunately. Do you see this as being different from what was going on pre-M1? Aside from shared math libraries, seems like most stuff required cross compilation just to work - I’m not clear that M1 adds more work on top of that.
