Losing Boot Camp for Arm Macs is no great loss

General News

Summary

In a discussion between Apple uber-fan Jon Gruber and Apple VP of Software Engineering Craig Federighi, Federighi said that Boot Camp wouldnt make it onto the new Macs and that "virtualization is the route," citing the efficiency of modern hypervisors. You win the fact that Windows is interacting directly with the hardware, without going through a virtualization or hypervisor layer. But you do save about a hundred bucks with Boot Camp because you dont have to buy a virtualization application like Parallels. I like playing Cities Skylines on my 2013 iMac with internal GeForce GTX 780M graphics card. The development kit version released now is using a Mac mini enclosure with whats essentially an iPad inside.
