There is no doubt that there are still users for whom compatibility with Windows, whether through Boot Camp or a virtualization application, is vital. If Apple completely abandons Intel, they will suffer. However, with each passing day, there is less software that is only available through Windows. This is because Windows lost its majority status a few years ago, thanks to the rise of Android and iOS.
The rise of mobile devices has forced most software tools to run on mobile platforms or, as an alternative, on the web. Nowadays, you can use Microsoft Office in a web browser. That said, getting the two of you to play well can take some time. File, software, and hardware compatibility issues aren't as severe as they were a decade ago, but they do exist. Fortunately, there are ways to overcome them.
If you're an early adopter of the M1 processor, you may experience some compatibility issues. But as companies update and optimize their products for the M1 processor, most of these concerns will disappear. This new attitude towards the Mac is reflected in functions such as Catalyst, which unites the Mac and the iPad in terms of software development. If you're a Windows user thinking of buying a Mac, or even a Mac owner is thinking of buying a PC, don't let compatibility issues stop you. With the right research and preparation, you can make sure that your device works with all the software and hardware you need.
