Most new software written as web apps, anyway. Pretty soon all you’ll need is a browser and you can take your pick - windows, apple, Linux, etc ...

That’s been said for a decade or longer. Desktop apps aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Where Web apps won’t do, there’s virtualization. I used to work at a place with Windows-only in-house apps that ran just fine in the Citrix client on my Mac. That works for anything that isn’t highly processor- or graphics-intensive, and it’s a lot faster and easier to roll out updates and ensure consistency than on individual workstations.
