A company has recently transitioned to a macOS environment, but still needs to run critical Windows-based applications that are not available on macOS. Which solution would BEST allow the company to continue using these applications?
Create a dual-boot environment on all macOS systems to run Windows OS natively when needed
Install virtualization software on macOS systems to run virtual machines with Windows OS
Utilize server virtualization to host the applications and access them via the web browser on macOS systems
Re-develop the applications to be compatible with macOS
Using virtualization software that enables Windows operating systems to run on macOS devices is the best solution. This allows the company to maintain use of their critical Windows-based applications without the need for separate Windows machines. This method does not involve modifying the original applications or dual-booting, which would be more disruptive to workflow. The use of server virtualization does not directly address the issue of running an application on an unsupported operating system at the client-side.
