Do you guys still need Windows?
Ever since I got my Mac Studio, I haven't booted in to Windows for anything. Everything that I used to need Windows for, I can now do in macOS. About a week or two ago, I installed Windows in a virtual machine using UTM and I couldn't think of any use for it.
I used to boot in to Windows for games but I've gotten in to playing retro games with emulators and emulation is so good on Apple Silicon that I haven't even booted in to my purpose built PC for emulation. I get better performance at a fraction of the power consumption and setup was so easy. I'm even considering decommissioning my Batocera PC build.
