Sounds like an esoteric thing to do.
To begin with; Teams isn’t a very friendly thing to run in the first place.
Then you want to run a virtualized windows instance, multiple maybe even, so that you can run Teams in these instances?
Would that be x64 windows? Virtualized, running on Rosetta, on an ARM CPU?
I guess if your only goal is to find out, sure.
But if you want to virtualize windows, why start with a mac?
I know someone who took a CPU out of the socket with the system “running” and then put it back in and resumed operations.
Sure, it can be done. But everyone else will just unplug the power and be done with it.
In the meantime I can wholeheartedly recommend Apple Silicon, but Microsoft’s software is still the worst stuff that I run on my mac.
Also, you can just use Teams from the browser if you don’t need any integrated features.
Thanks for sharing!
It is. I did wonder given I run the MacOS version on my M2 Mac mini just fine.
There is an ARM version of Windows and there is probably Teams for it.
Hence why I asked the question ;)
Doesn’t make it a much better proposal as ARM Windows is (still) severely limited/unsupported.
