Microsoft lost me long ago and having used it at work until I retired at the end of 2018, I have zero desire to go back. It's hard to say what the future will bring. My understanding is that porting most software is kind of like going to the universal model for the iPhone/iPad, pretty easy to do. One of the issues with any operating system is orphaned apps no longer working. Windows has that problem as well.
I'm not sure of the details of Apples change to their own chips/OS, but it seems like Microsoft is relatively good (compared to Apple) about supporting orphaned apps?

I would guess that 9/10 orphaned apps written for Windows 10 years ago will still run and the number would be much lower for Apple, using the latest OSs?
