How about Windows running on M Series Macs? That would probably be one of the best Windows machines on the market. Risc-V while a noble idea will initially lead to some really junk laptops just like the wave of Chinese ARM "laptops" from a few years back and more recently the junk from Qualcomm. Eventually I image the experience will get decent but there will be nothing but disposable junk for a few years until the ecosystem and performance become something consumers can use.
- snvzz 4y agoI don't think Microsoft is interested, and I honestly do not care about ARM hardware anymore. I have never cared about Apple hardware to begin with.
- nebula8804 4y agoI guess the mass market won't care about whatever you end up caring about. You are missing out if you haven't given a serious try of Apple M-Series hardware.
- snvzz 4y agoLet me know once Microsoft supports Windows for ARM on M-Series. Till then, it does not exist for Windows purposes.
- zamnos 4y agoZDNet: Microsoft now supports running Windows 11 on Arm on Apple Silicon Macs, but there are some limitations. https://www.zdnet.com/google-amp/article/microsoft-finally-authorizes-windows-11-on-apple-m1-and-m2-macs/ https://www.zdnet.com/google-amp/article/microsoft-finally-a... or an article from Microsoft themselves: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/options-for-using-windows-11-with-mac-computers-with-apple-m1-and-m2-chips-cd15fd62-9b34-4b78-b0bc-121baa3c568c https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/options-for-usin... Feel free to move the goalposts to "non-virtualized, even though you didn't specify that originally :)

- nebula8804 4y agoWindows 11 virtualized on M Series is probably one of the snappiest Windows 11 experiences you'll probably get. I run it from time to time on my M1 Mac Mini and it is tolerable for when I need to use Windows.
