    Isn’t it a shame, then, that you won’t really be able to do this unless you’re a developer with a Mac who can sideload it. Almost certainly visionOS will have the same draconian restrictions that get placed onto iOS’s App Store, and almost certainly no sideloading for non-developers either.

    This headline just kinda depresses me. It’s super cool work that everyone should get to mess with, but it seems like Big Tech is intent on allowing for zero fun, all in the name of security and anti-piracy.

      This is hands down my biggest issue with apple’s approach to Vision Pro. I don’t even know where to start.

      Companies dont want pirated content and its consequences on their products? Im sure you would love dealing with those headaches for free if you were responsible for them

      Downvotes from children living in their fantasy world where articles about running pirated windows is a good look for apple

        I dont understand your POV, sideloaded software =/= pirated content. also, what your saying is directly fighting againt the consumer interest of hardware freedom. are you also against the right to repair because apple can make their products however they want?

              yeah you think you can use someone’s products for free just because they’re not making a profit from them, I’m not surprised you also have trouble reading

                Oh, do I now? Lmao. I’m glad people like you exist to poorly articulate at me exactly how I think about complex sociopolitical issues. Where would my moral compass be without it? Oh dear… time to go rethink my life!

        MacOS is not that locked down compared to other desktop OS. I’m pretty sure you can already run emulated windows in mac
