Compared to the perception of Apple’s “it just works” emulation, Microsoft’s approach to ARM does not feel as smooth or slick. ![]() The majority of mainstream applications run under emulation but issues are still closer to the surface than on macOS for example gaming is still a case by case basis.

Apple’s closed-nature of the operating system, forcing developers to stay up to date not just with the latest versions of macOS but also Apple’s own strict rules on packaging software meant that the emulation layer to let Intel-based apps run on the ARM hardware had a limited horizon to address, which it managed with broadly similar performances of older apps on the newer hardware. ![]()
