Microsoft isn't going to write Windows Apple GPU drivers any time soon.It’s entirely up to Microsoft to enable Windows for Arm as the Apple Silicon boot loader is not locked.

I'm sure if Microsoft approached Apple with the offer to make Windonws for Arm available they would help out with that and other specifics of Apple Silicon.
Oh yes, my bad, I was thrown by reacktor's post before mine, talking about dualbooting into windows.Actually you can’t boot into Windows anymore, Windows on ARM doesn’t support Mac hardware.
apple wants to lock you into their eco system, thus letting you run windows on their hardware is not in their interestsI'm sure if Microsoft approached Apple with the offer to make Windonws for Arm available they would help out with that and other specifics of Apple Silicon.
I think this describes the situation for most people (don’t agree at all about the pricing but that’s immaterial).But why would you even want to? Nothing has changed really in that landscape, Apple mac products have gotten faster and more efficient, partly due to bleeding edge node advantages. Macs are being replaced, they are as intresting to the windows pc users as they have been before.
Aside from that, why would anyone pay the premium of 5000 dollars to match a 1500 dollar windows laptop for the same performance but mor efficiency which most gamers dont value as much?
There is no eco system lock in macOS. Apple's AppStore has plus points - like zero-effort autoupdates - but AppStore apps also include some limitations because those apps have to work within the strict sandboxes that the AppStore requires, which excludes some types of utilities.apple wants to lock you into their eco system, thus letting you run windows on their hardware is not in their interests

mate if you've used apple devices/pc's like me they work best together, with windows/android and apple stuff its not as seamless, you have to jump through more hoops (by design)
Video folks, photography buffs, the Adobe crowd … these people have a nice set of new options.
tudents love the screens and the battery life, and overall solidity which help the computers survive in a backpack. Up to a point.
The Windows masses will stay exactly where they are. Corporates, administrations, mass school purchases - all Windows as per usual. Gamers - Windows. Status quo will remain largely unmoved. The threat may be existential, but hardly actual.

I don’t think Apple would.
Had an intresting read on the new apple sillicon and future.
iOS is a walled garden. macOS is not.Years ago when I developed for IOS I had to buy a Mac to do that. Ok fair enough you say
They don't. Apple's iDevices - basically everything that isn't a Mac that also isn't standard Bluetooth (like AirPods) is pretty much a walled garden. macOS and things like headphones, keyboards and mice work with any device.What is the walled garden? Perhaps these explain (I didnt read)
But I think there many programs that are only available in Mac store, so you need apple account if you want to install them. That's not (yet) the case with Windows. And I'm not sure if UI can be configured to be more like standard PC (Windows 7, KDE, Cinnamon...), especially not without commercial programs (e.g. uBar). So you are completely up to Apple's mercy when it comes to design decisions, whether you like it or not.
OK you convinced me (I looked further online), I was wrong. Apple OS is not a walled garden (other apple stuff is)Apple is the king of walled gardens but macOS isn't one of them. macOS is a UNIX 03-compliant operating. You can change more about how it fundamental operates with the terminal than you can tweak Windows with any of Microsoft's admin tools. It is absolutely not - in any way - a walled garden. You can use a Mac without any other Apple service or resources. At work you get the choice of a Dell XPS13 or MacBook Pro 13". We disable every Apple service on the Macs, tie them into the Enterprise systems and they're off. You use Microsoft (Office 365, Outlook/Exchange Sharepoint, Teams) and local Google services for everything else.
You must be the last person alive using objective C! Also, just for info, there has never been a requirement to Xcode for macOS/OSX development. And almost every major cross-platform IDE has supported iOS for years. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯xcode and objective c (may it burn in hell) and just lumping them all together
