How Apple could tempt Windows users to switch at WWDC 2024
The Windows vs Mac debate still rages on, but with WWDC 2024, Apple’s annual conference for developers, about to kick off, we’ve been wondering what Apple could do to tempt Windows users to cross the divide.
Now, I’m not saying Apple will ever do these things, but I think they would give Windows users an extra reason to consider a device running macOS – and with many people getting increasingly frustrated with the direction Microsoft is taking Windows 11 in (the upcoming Recall feature is the latest controversy), WWDC 20204 could be a fantastic opportunity for Apple to tempt people to switch to one of the best Macs or MacBooks when they’re looking for a new computer. 1. Allow users to install macOS to run natively on Windows PCs
At present, if you try to do this and create what is known as a ‘Hackintosh’, you’ll be violating Apple’s End User License Agreement, as PCTechKits points out.
I understand that Apple wants to maintain macOS’s exclusivity to only run on Apple products (legally), but giving Windows users the option to install macOS without having to buy a new device would be a straightforward way to offer existing Windows users a path to trying macOS. 2. Make it easier for developers to create apps that can run on macOS
Sadly, there are still times when you’ll run into instances of software that doesn’t have a version for macOS or that the macOS version behaves differently from the Windows version.
