micrsoft has spent the last few years rebuilding their shit to work on ARM. no idea how far theyve come, but you will absolutely see windows on arm for the enterprise.
Apple has the benefit of having done architecture transitions a few times already. Microsoft has been trying to get everyone out of the "Program Files (x86)" directory for over decade.
apple doesnt have the burden of being backwards compatible for 3 decades and able to run on most commoditized hardware.
apple undoubtedly has it easier than a company thats actually in use in most of the business world.
