Being able to run Windows applications with Fusion or Bootcamp was one of the big draws for me for the Mac. Not sure if I'm ready to give up running x86 applications yet (or ever?).
- pooriaazimi 14y agoA valid point. However, Microsoft is betting heavily on ARM too, with Win8 RT (if I'm not mistaken and RT is the ARM one). So, Win8 and a lot of Win8 apps are going to support ARM, and those who don't can be virtualized! (Note that I'm not saying it's a good plan)
- trotsky 14y agoWait, you're suggesting that you're going to be running an x86 emulator on winrt for apps access? That is pretty unlikely to be a realistic solution unless you're only looking for very old apps - try running an arm emulator on x86 to get a taste, and then slow it down by 5x or more.
- pooriaazimi 14y agoYou're right :) It probably would be unusably slow.
