I had to test/fix something at work and I set up a Windows VM because it was a bug specific to Windows users. Once I was done, I thought, “Maybe I should keep this VM for something.” but I couldn’t think of anything that wasn’t a game (which probably wouldn’t work well in a VM anyway) or some super specific enterprise software I don’t really use.

I also am more familiar with the Apple ecosystem than the Microsoft one so maybe I’m just oblivious to what’s out there. Does anyone out there dual boot or use a VM for a non-game, non-niche industry Windows exclusive program?

      These are work files and shared between teams, so I’d rather maintain 100% MSO compatibility. :) Also, most of the time these files are on Sharepoint or OneDrive, so it makes it convenient to edit with M365 - don’t need to save files locally and re-upload/sync them.

        Oh that makes sense if it is for work. I though you were just using it for personal use.
