So I can run Win11 on an M Mac but not on my i7-7700k?

I mean win 11 has been working fine in parallels on my M1 for almost a year now, so what, Microsoft just said they are ok with it?

Is the performance abysmal ?

The Apple OS is their justification to charge $3000 for a computer. If someone can just buy an HP and throw Mac OS on it that is going to hurt their computer sales.

Also Apple will be slowly dropping support for Intel. They have moved their entire line over at this point so in another 4 years or so they will announce no support for Intel on their OS. They will market it as a good thing like they did when they dropped G4 and G5 support in OS 10.6.

Correct, as far as I know that is still in place for some unknown amount of time. Alongside that initial report about the deal from 2021, was info that Microsoft was working with Qualcomm and MediaTek on chips for ARM based Windows PCs. When ever Microsoft decides it's ready to launch and move forward with those is when i think the deal will magically end and Windows for ARM will be open for manufacturers to run wild with.

I've been running Windows 11 for a while, and it's a serious productivity killer compared to 10 so it's not that big of a loss for you.

Runs faster in virtualization than any other ARM64 windows laptop booting natively. So surreal to run windows 11 on sidecar with iPad Pro. Wish they let you run virtual machines on the iPad natively.

When they were Intel based it was, now with the M series heir hardware is literally unmatched as of right now.

There is nothing on the market with the same performance/Wh + build quality, and their prices are even fair compared to other manufacturers.

Oh yeah, I see it. That's not really boot camp though. Boot camp is not an app. That's just the setup app.

The app is fully Apple Silicon native too, which is odd since as you mention, it doesn't anything except quit.

There are absolutely other options with comparable or even better designs and build quality, and the M processors are only unmatched at low power points because that's literally what they're designed for (low power efficiency without major concern for die area).
