Former Windows Boss Calls Apple’s Transition Away From Intel ‘Incredibly Brave’
Posted in: Today's ChiliApple’s transition away from Intel to their own custom ARM chipsets for their Mac computers has been rumored for a long time, and it was at WWDC last week that Apple made the move official. There is no doubt that many are skeptical about the move, with some expressing concern, while others are excited.
Former Microsoft executive and Windows boss Steven Sinofsky seems to fall into the latter camp, where in a post made on Medium, Sinofsky praised Apple’s decision and also called the company “incredibly brave” for making the move in the face of the potential that many things could also go wrong in the process.
He goes on to explain why Apple, of all companies, is in the perfect position to do what they plan to do, and how they have laid the groundwork over the years to make that happen. This change to ARM would mark the second time Apple has made the transition in terms of processors.
Some might remember that many, many years ago, Apple used to use PowerPCs for their Mac computers, but later made the transition to Intel which was also considered to be a huge move back in the day. Given how much of the market Intel dominates, like we said, some were rightfully skeptical when Apple announced that they would move away from Intel.
While there are many potential benefits to moving to ARM, like we said, app compatibility and performance are some of the key factors in determining the success of such a move, but that’s something we’ll have to wait and see if Apple has what it takes to pull it off.

Uber started out as a ridesharing company, but later the company leveraged its drivers to form Uber Eats, where drivers could also go pickup food orders along their routes and deliver them to customers as a way of earning a bit more money. However, in recent times due to the pandemic, the number of people relying on ridesharing is clearly down, while demand for food delivery is going up.
So much so that according to a report from the New York Times, they have heard from sources that claims that Uber could be interested in acquiring Postmates. The report alleges that Uber has apparently made an offer to acquire the company and that talks are still in progress, but whether or not it will be successful remains to be seen.
If successful, it is unclear how Uber will be treating their acquisition. Will they allow Postmates to continue to operate as they are while being part of Uber, or will Uber fold Postmates into Uber Eats and incorporate their features into their app? The latter does seem like a long-term possibility, but either way, take it with a grain of salt for now as neither company has commented on the rumor.
In a way, it also makes sense that Uber might want to bolster its services considering that Just Eat has recently acquired Grubhub, meaning that Uber’s Uber Eats services will now have stiffer competition than before, so acquiring Postmates could be Uber’s way of strengthening their services.
