Windows consumer revenue comes from preinstalled licenses, they don't need to advertise it directly. M1 Windows port would be admitting defeat and kill Surface. For Office, they already have MacOS version of it.
- kergonath 5y agoIf they enable something like Boot Camp, those OEM licences would just be replaced by consumer ones, I am not sure it’d be much worse in terms of bottom line. Their Surface line has already tons of of competition from all the Wintel manufacturers anyway.
- philistine 5y agoWhen you say it would kill Surface, are you 100% sure that all those corporatey types would stop buying those machines? Kill is a strong word.
