Gonna be a lot of peeved OSX devs and users if they lose Windows compatibility from the desktop Macs. Not that Tim Cook would care about that. He thinks everyone should do everything on an iPad.

I don't think as many will miss Windows as you think...Originally Posted by matts-uk

I don't hear good things about Mac gaming support, so it might drive home users away.
Do many people buy home PCs for gaming these days?
I also suspect the situation is not necessarily as bad as it used to be - I know I'm not in the majority for gaming tastes, but quite a high proportion of my games library runs natively on Mac (RPGs & indie games especially).
I think the size of Nvidia shows the market is not only reasonably large but high spending. OFC the Venn diagram of "Mac users" and "Game players" may have a tiny intersection and perhaps it just doesn't matter.
In general people don't buy Macs to play AAA games. The Mac or PC stereotype is somewhat stale IMO.
If my own customers are anything to go by, the Apple or PC, iOS or Android households are in decline. It's quite normal to find mum, dad and the kids sharing an iMac for productivity and media tasks, while little Johny plays FPS on a PC in his bedroom and little Jenny plays Animal Crossing on a console - sort of thing.
I was thinking about interop, rather than running Windows on a Mac. I still have bad memories of integrating Macs into mixed and primarily Windows infrastructures. A lot of the pain and need for 3rd party middleware went away when they moved to Intel. The move to Intel also saw a rapid increase in traditionally PC only applications being ported to OSX. I would imagine due to the ease of porting a low level library between OS compared to porting between chips.
"Apple Plans to Announce Move to Its Own Mac Chips at WWDC," said Bloomberg a few hours ago.
The virtual version of its WWDC event takes place in the week of 22nd June. That isn't long to wait for confirmation of this recurring rumour, which if true is very big news.
