Loss Windows, but gain iOS apps and Android vm. Now true Arm android VM. Instead of x86 versions..

Games, legacy softwares, soon will have no choice to either leave Mac platform entirely, or forced to develop using Xcode. And once they bite the bullet make it compatible with the Arm Mac, it means iPad and iPhone will gain it with little effort. But i guess gaming engine is hard at work to make sure their engines will allow games to compile against this new architecture.

        useless to run the ARM version of Windows on an ARM Mac :P

        the only appeal to running Windows on a Mac is to run x86/x64 software. so this is a non-issue, actually.

          Anonymous, 26 Jun 2020It's ok. Windows is a virus itselfalso windows in much better for gaming, for file organization and for other operations.
          both are equivalent as android and ios.
          so ARM based macbooks are a down side for many people and upside for the company itself.

              Article quote, "What will be missed by many, however, is the ability to run Windows 10 on Mac. Many Mac users use Boot Camp or virtualization software to currently run Windows..."

              The above quote from the article elegantly describes why in spite of all the heated 'Win vs Mac' arguments, both online and in real-life, Windows shall forever reign supreme.

              As with macOS, both iOS and Android simply cannot perform certain tasks that Windows can, along with the user experience of Windows being far superior to any of the aforementioned OSes.

              The proof of the above, should it be needed, is that during the global lockdown over the past several months, the device of choice by billions of people is none other than the humble, often grey-boxed demure PC that does whatever it is asked of in a no-nonsense manner.

              Long life to Windows !!!

                          That is why you don't buy mac on ARM alltogether. They might actually succeed, we have all seen how that crappy iphone brainwashed the crowd, so why wouldn't and ARM based MAC? It is the first computer ever made (ups, they can't say that this time). Well at least the best ever created...
