But it was also unimaginable in the past to have Microsoft embracing Linux but yet now there is a Linux subsystem inside Windows 10 and SQL Server on Linux.Despite the fact that the mobile market expanded to the point where now most of the work is done on the go, AutoCAD remained one of the few software solutions to keep its desktop-first legacy intact. It can seem far-fetch as it requires a certain confluence of events to have a successful transition to macOS on ARM and the transition could take a 12-18 months before it can be judged success or failure. It was the lack of application support on NT on non-Intel chips and Surface RT not a viable choice. It is widely expected there will be Windows 10 on ARM with better native application support (not emulation). There is also the movement of Microsoft Windows away from just being Intel x86 architecture only (and this isn't the first time, NT also had versions that ran on Alpha, MIPS, PPC, and Surface RT was a version Windows 8 that run on ARM-based CPU even though Surface RT was considered a failed product). Who knows these types of stories is just a tactic in some Intel supply contract negotiation? Even if Apple spends US$10-20 million/year on a few dozen people working full time/part time on a macOS on ARM project and it does not see the light of day, the possible extra discounts that Apple can squeeze out of such Intel supply contract probably pays for such a skunkworks project many times fold. The most recent product launch event, all the "predictions" were pretty much spot on with the same Bloomberg reporter who has his sources with the 2020 target year for macOS on ARM.
Yeah, every speculation/rumour about any future product/service plans/roadmap of any company (not just Apple) is to be taken with a grain of salt.Įxcept that of late, Apple has not been good at keeping such secrets (perhaps intentionally).
