    Let's not fool ourselves here: the main goal of Apple with this goal is to force user later down the road to use the Mac Store for everything, as it already happens on iPhone/iPad.

    F for Mac OS x86. ARM Apps will probably use the same pay-to-use design of mobile ads, including apps and whatnot.

      Of all things announced today by Apple this is Big news, and exciting. Waiting to see how it will turn out. If it's good I am getting a macbook for the first time

          not looking good for intel. AMD has been making gains in PC, intel is virtually non-existent in mobile, and they just lost their flagship partner apple.

            I hope game companies add compatibility to ARM processors. Witcher 3 has a MacOS port and so as Dota 2. If ARM is claimed to be the next evolution/superior to x86/x64 architecture, apps like games 40 years from now should work on ARM just fine.

              This is big and will shape the next decades
              Microsoft will move this way to, and be better than the surface pro X fiasco
