I’ve used (and developed software for, and helped administer) SAP from my Mac on and off for 20 years. Tends to be easier these days now that everything is mobile and web. A lot bigger companies than “Hipster startups” use Macs, this tends to start with the C-suite and people follow suit. My point also wasn’t that everyone was going to switch to Mac. It was that M1 proves you can build a “better in every way” PC with an ARM architecture. Linux ARM is also being pushed by AWS heavily from the server side with impressive price/performance numbers. Windows ARM has been failing for many years, but I suspect this is going to change. Microsoft has a talented virtualization group, where the HyperV roots go back to the Connectix Virtual PC team that built PPC/x86 emulation for the Mac. I suspect they can pull off something like Rosetta - they just need a chipmaker to collaborate with. Might even be Intel! Pat Gelsinger is an outside of the box thinker. You remind me of folks that thought the iPhone / iPad would have no impact on Blackberry sales, as real businesses need keyboards.
