Isn't it a shame, then, that you won't really be able to do this unless you're a developer with a Mac who can sideload it. Almost certainly visionOS will have the same draconian restrictions that get placed onto iOS's App Store, and almost certainly no sideloading for non-developers either.
This headline just kinda depresses me. It's super cool work that everyone should get to mess with, but it seems like Big Tech is intent on allowing for zero fun, all in the name of security and anti-piracy.
Companies dont want pirated content and its consequences on their products? Im sure you would love dealing with those headaches for free if you were responsible for them
Downvotes from children living in their fantasy world where articles about running pirated windows is a good look for apple
Because Nintendo is famously suing Microsoft for emulators?
Not illegal = apple wants windows on their products? Bless your heart
Windows is already on Apple products though? Bootcamp is an apple solution that is mostly used for running windows on mac os
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201468
which requires intel processor, which they got rid of with their m line so obviously they dont like that stuff
I dont understand your POV, sideloaded software =/= pirated content. also, what your saying is directly fighting againt the consumer interest of hardware freedom. are you also against the right to repair because apple can make their products however they want?
I didn’t realize Microsoft was still selling windows XP…
Yes thats how copyright works thats why u can freely download nintendo roms too, its ok apple bad
Sorry, your reply is poorly articulated and difficult to parse. Could you please elaborate?
MacOS is not that locked down compared to other desktop OS. I'm pretty sure you can already run emulated windows in mac
This is hands down my biggest issue with apple’s approach to Vision Pro. I don’t even know where to start.
