An organization is deploying a new software tool across its network, but the software is not compatible with the macOS machines in the graphic design department. What is the BEST method to ensure these users can run the software without replacing their machines?
You selected this option
Configure all macOS machines to dual-boot with a compatible operating system.
You selected this option
Virtualize the required OS and application to allow it to run on macOS
You selected this option
Use a compatibility layer like Wine to run the software on macOS machines.
You selected this option
Upgrade the software to a version that is compatible with macOS.
The best method is to use application virtualization to host the incompatible software in a compatible environment and deliver it to the macOS machines. This allows the software to run in an environment that is suited to its requirements, while still being accessible from the macOS machines. Installing dual-boot systems would require rebooting to switch operating systems, which is not a practical solution for daily operations. Upgrading the incompatible software may not be feasible if the software is only designed for a specific OS environment. Using a compatibility layer like Wine might not achieve the desired performance or compatibility, especially for complex software tools.
