    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
