"Apple prepares macOS for discontinuation of 32-bit app support"

I find this disconcerting. Porting our software to x64 will not be
trivial. And since Microsoft seems to be looking to Apple for
leadership nowadays, the following article has more credibility with me.

"Microsoft reportedly planning another doomed attempt at jettisoning
Win32 apps in 2019"

Apparently, Microsoft hasn't done enough to piss people off for the sake of competing against Apple. If users and software developers kept their
silence, Microsoft will think that its decision is best not just for its bussiness, but also for its customers.
