Windows 10: Windows 11 for Mac Running Apple M4 Processor: Which flavor is the best?

I just purchased a new iMac with an Apple M4 processor. I want to buy a stand-alone download of MS Windows 11. MS Bot says Windows 11 Pro Arm version with Parallel is best; however, MS says there are some limitations that make some applications fail. Any suggestions would be most helpful. Many thanks in advance.

Apple Launches the Mac Pro

Apple today announced its new Intel-based line of desktop computers. Called the Mac Pro, Apple's new desktops have been a long wait for many. The new computers are what many consider to be the catalyst that will boost development of Apple x86 software to a whole new level. Many of the world's top designers and artists develop their work on Apple's desktops and with the new technology that's inside these machines, the performance of Apple's desktops will leap to a new level.

Based on Intel Woodcrest Xeon DP processors, the new Mac Pro desktops are multi-core, multi-processor systems. At first, it was predicted that Apple would use Intel's Core 2 Duo processors but Core 2 Duo processors are not capable of operating in SMP mode. Apple's previous desktops based on the G5 processor used two dual-core processors and thus living up to that expecation required the skip over Core 2. DailyTech covered Intel's Xeon DP processors earlier this month. The processors currently top out at 3.0GHz and all of them come with 4MB of L2 cache. The rest of the Mac Pro is equally advanced:

• Processor: Intel Xeon DP processor up to 3.0GHz
• Each Mac Pro comes with dual processors
• Memory: Up to 16GB of DDR2 memory
• Graphics: Up to NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 512MB
• Storage: Up to 2TB of SATA storage
• 4 PCIe slots

New to the Mac Pro desktops is the ability for single PCIe x16 graphics cards. The new Mac Pro desktops can be equipped with Fibre Channel controllers as well as other SCSI options. The desktops come with twin GigE Ethernet ports and built in AirPort for connecting to 802.11b/g networks and Bluetooth connectivity. The Mac Pro desktops are also fully equipped with Apple's usual assortment of ports and connectors: FireWire 400, FireWire 800, USB 2.0, analog audio jacks and optical digital audio jacks.

Despite all the new technology crammed into the Mac Pro, Apple's design team has yet again produced a machine that's very well thought out on the inside as much as it is on the outside. Internal air cooling is well thought out and the Mac Pro comes with no less than six low-RPM high volume fans. Components are well cooled and with a flip of a lever, they are easily accessable for upgrades and adjustments.

Over the past several months, Apple has been releasing its product transitions at a steady pace, first with the iMac and then the Mac mini. The new Mac Pro desktops complete Apple's consumer line of computers according to its press release, is available immediately. If Apple's new Mac Pro turns out to be what many have been hoping for, it could be one of the most powerful and promising computers Apple has launched -- and it runs both OS X and Windows.

The new Mac Pro starts at $2499 and comes with a base configuration of:

• Two 2.6GHz Xeon Processors
• 1GB of RAM
• NVIDIA GeForce 7300GT 256MB
• 250GB hard drive
• Superdrive
  
  The new Mac Pro desktops start shipping today.

Windows 11 on Mac

Hi Torgeir

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

It depends, what type of Mac do you have, dos that have an Intel processor or one of the new Mac's with an M1 processors?

Microsoft does not directly support Windows 11 on a Mac, there is software named Parallels that allows you to run Windows 11 on a Mac, it is stable on an Intel chip, but they are still working to get Windows 11 stable on a Mac with an M1 chip.

 

Apple Introduces New Mac Pro

I hate to say it, but this is hardly worth $2799
As MACs get more and more PC-like, I fear they will lose their identity altogether. Really, all Macs have now to differentiate themselves from the rest is the OS. The hardware is the same.

I love the cases though - are they using Lian-Li or a is it a knockoff?
