With just less than 10% of market share, do you really think it will change the whole thing? Unless Microsoft pushes for ARM too, I don't see any changes soon
Microsoft just announced their own OpenJDK variant for Windows ARM.

Microsoft has been dabbling with ARM for a long time now. It will all come down to whether this move gives Apple a significant performance and/or battery life advantage. If Apple pulls it off it will force Microsoft and other vendors to respond.
This is critical especially when they make their older devices "EOL" and there are no more OS updates.

if Microsoft ports the whole business applications to ARM, there might be hope, but without them, It's hard

> Because it gives techies the *nix environment they want, with the software and hardware support no one will give them on Linux. The UNIX experience on the Mac is pretty shitty. Ancient versions of all the tooling. Command-line utils have that weird BSD well-water flavor. No package management. Funny Docker quirks. The hardware used to be pretty nice, but honestly I'm still having trouble forgiving them for getting…

Last week I had to drop to vi and edit nfs.conf on a friend's Mac to solve very slow transfer rates. "Just works" within a very narrow definition of primitive use cases.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if Apple were to put SVE in their first desktop class ARM chip. They were the first to move to 64 bits after all and SVE has been optional in the standard for quite a while and they wouldn't be the first implementer this time.
Apple wasn't the first with a 64-bit ARM chip - AppliedMicro released theirs in 2011: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20111027006673/en/App... - the Apple A7 wasn't released for another 2 years after that.

Yes, VMWare ESXi runs on Arm just fine. :-)
Can you run an x86 guest under it?
