Hello again, for those of us with multiple disabilities in my additional
disability is hidden I am required! Use Windows on Mac just simply
because there is again no comparable dictation software on the Mac side
that even remotely approaches Dragon for Windows at this time. That
means I'm forced to use this system. If I'm to be believed at all in any
endeavor I pursue. When it comes to writing. The joys of having dyslexia
of writing. By the way please don't laugh this is actually a diagnosed
disability.
Finally I think everybody should be aware that parallels does this job
quite well sadly it is the only game in town it works on Intel-based
Macs and the M1 box equally. I'm actually using Windows 11 virtually yes
what the software TMP. Correction TPM. Be well, stay safeAnd I'll keep
reading everyone's posts. Bye for now.

Having used both operating systems to some degree, I've learned that each one
works best in their native environments.
I find Mac's supported apps limited and wish I could run more IOS apps on the
Mac.
I have to use two devices to get the same things accomplished that I could do
on Windows.
To be fair though, I'm not familiar with Pages.
I hope OCR continues to improve.
Use both operating systems if you depend on technology for work.

What is meant by running Mac OS on windows is that you have a windows machine,
and create Mac OS virtual machine using whatever virtualization software.
This has a couple of issues:
1. It is illegal. As the user agreement of Mac OS, you should not run Mac OS on
any non Apple machine. I don’t remember the exact text, but it is easily
understandable.
2. It is very slow compared to getting a Mac machine and run windows on it
using virtualization.

Sorry, I don’t know what you mean by “running Mac on Windows”.
You can already virtualise (that is, create a virtual environment for) and
dual-boot (that is, reboot and then start as though on a PC) Windows. Macs make
very fine Windows machines either way, providing you understand the limitations
of the hardware and driver support. Modern Windows is very power-efficient and
if you configure it correctly it can run every bit as nicely as macOS, although
on notebooks with discrete GPUs Apple has always prejudiced the integrated GPU
(there are workarounds, if you know where to look).
I mostly run Apple stock apps on my Macs, but the bulk of it is in Linux VMs or
Terminal. Any consideration to move exclusively to Apple Silicon would mean,
for me, deciding which platform was the lesser evil for essentially day-to-day
apps; I would simply have to have (and carry about) multiple machines,
otherwise. Right now my iMac does the work, and runs both platforms well, but I
don’t boot Windows very often at all and it might simply be time to leave
Windows behind altogether when travelling. Alternatively, of course, I purchase
a cheap Apple Silicon notebook for the few (and, I’ll be honest, generally less
important) things macOS does well, and begin the painful transition back to
Windows full-time. I’m not sure which, yet. Given that my VMs are Linux, and
Windows now has WSL for Linux command-line software, it’s actually not an easy
call to make any more—I think the reason I’m stuck to macOS is mostly
familiarity and the overall experience, but it clearly also has limitations
that would be amplified by Apple Silicon and not having Windows around as
rescue, however infrequently that actually happens.
I don’t know the accessibility status of Windows 365, but I don’t really fancy
renting my computer in the cloud. My beef with Windows as a platform isn’t such
that I’d avoid it at all costs, but realistically I’d have to use it on a day
to day basis and the cloud isn’t good value for that.
Cheers,
Sabahattin
