I have a surface pro x. I can't install Google drive on windows. I can't install Linux. Affinity apps don't get graphics acceleration because of some missing directX support. Neither does Blender, or Fusion360. Darktable and Rawtherapee only work under emulation. How is this a $1000+ laptop? All those things work flawlessly on an underspecced base MacBook air with 8GB of RAM (up until you need to use all the ram to keep five chrome tabs open anyway).
I know there's some hyperbole here, but my point still stands: the author is right when they said that Microsoft hasn't given up... Because it feels they're not even trying. Apple said EVERYBODY MAKE ARM APPS NOW, and compatibility problems lasted a year. Not ten years.
Because Apple's priority has never been legacy support and backwards compatibility but Microsoft's whole business model and key advantage with Windows is legacy support and backwards compatibility. It's a different beast when you're marketing to the enterprise instead of personal users.
Yup. Its not uncommon for Windows to have to run 20+ year old app maintained(or not) by blood and tears of some poor interns
