Who’s funnier—Siri or Cortana? It may be a contest you’ll never be able to judge as your allegiance lies with Mac. But by installing Parallels PC on that Mac of yours, you can run most Windows apps, setting the stage for a voice assistant joke-off.
If you’re a tried and true Mac user, from your iPhone to your MacBook, from your iPad to your Apple Watch, we know that switching operating systems is not likely in your cards. But it does seem that there are some applications that just run better, or are only available using Windows. Popular programs such as Microsoft Office, Visual Studio, Quickbooks, Internet Explorer, and so many more can now easily be run on your MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac, iMac Pro, Mac mini, or Mac Pro thanks to this emulation software.
Trusted by more than 7 million users and praised by experts, Parallels PC is easy to install and allows you to effortlessly run more than 200,000 Windows apps on your Mac without rebooting or slowing down your computer. You can run both operating systems side-by-side and even share files and folder, copy and paste images and text, and drag and drop files and content between the two of them.

Apple - PC Ping!..................

Will that run on one of the new M1 Macs? And no, in true FReeper fashion, I have not clicked thru and read the article.
I was all Apple from 1982 until the early 1990s. Then as I joined the business world, the availability of accounting and warehouse/production management software made me switch to Windows. We still used Apple for design stuff, but, then switched that over to Windows.
I do use an iPhone, though. It syncs fine with Windows.
Now I wonder whether I should switch everything to cloud based, drop all the hardware management annoyances. But, last time I tried to use a Mac a few years ago, all the buttons were backwards and I had no idea what the icons do. So, learning curve... Plus, I still have my hesitations with cloud stuff giving all my data to all the spies out there.
So...Tim Cook AND Bill Gates can suck up your info at the same time.
won’t Filmmaker RUN ON Mac?............

Only ARM versions of windows - x86 OS’s are not supported, and likely never will be.
Rather like installing the engine from a Yugo into a S-Class Mercedes.
Technically, you are still obligated to purchase an OS lincense from Microsoft, regardless of the hardware or software platform you launch it from.
It may be included with the hardware or software, but do check.
Crawl on a Mac Studio ? Mac Studio is a beast.
I’ll ask the obvious: what’s the problem with running FileMaker on Ubuntu in WINE?
Saw this link that shows WINE seemed to support FileMaker at some point:

I’ve used VMWare Fusion to run Windows, Linux, and Android on my Mac.
