- CoastalCoder 1y agoI wouldn't be thrilled about AMD having a de facto monopoly on x86 production through. Granted, ISA is less crucial than it used to be, but there's still a lot of x86 binaries in the world.

"Switch to Mac" means ripping out the whole MS management stack. Or keep/move to 365 and Intune but tune it to Mac. Or keep 365 but move management to Jamf. Can be done ofc, but it's a process. That's how I still see it. Maybe I'm out of touch :)

- heraldgeezer 1y agobahahaha xddddd Not but really, yes it is doable but takes time and hiring new admins or re-train. Yes if you are company of 20 people go buy Macs and GSuite.
