When it comes to porting Win11, does MSFT have something like Rosetta to ease the pain for applications during the transitional period?
Sure, plenty of windows users (business and personal computing) rely primarily on first-party apps, browsers, and big flagship apps (which could presumably leverage Microsoft partnerships to release on new architectures early enough that users wouldn’t notice much pain). But the long tail of widely used applications that aren’t big enough that I’d trust them to release ports by the time of an ARM (or whatever) hardware release is huge in Windows land—much larger than on MacOS.
