I recently bought an Apple Silicon laptop and I’ve noticed that only a handful of my apps are run in Intel translation mode. Intel apps are significantly slower to launch because they front load the code translation, but I’ve been surprised to see how much software is fully native or universal now. Apple has done a good job giving developers the tools to write code that is portable, but it’s been stretching the pain over servers revision cycles. For example dropping 32bit software support two versions ago. I am not convinced Microsoft has the nerve to break compatibility but Linux will be fine.
MS is doing it. They are killing Outlook and moving to New Outlook. I can’t think of any other app that is as important as that one.
I don’t mean Microsoft apps. I know those will work fine. I mean all the effort Microsoft has put into making sure that Windows remains compatible with very old third-party software, including drivers.
I suspect them moving/re-coding their enterprise apps over to PWA has a lot to do with getting those apps to run well on different architectures.
