I am still in the process of migrating my data and apps from my Intel MacBook to my new MacBook Pro M3. I have in the process noted that some programs download, but don't install. ??? I learned something today when trying to install Google Earth Pro. It only exists for Intel Macs, but I found a web note that it can still run on Apple Silicon Macs via Rosetta, a built in emulator that translates the install Intel program to run properly on Apple Silicon. FYI: To install an Intel App, after download, just click on the .dmg or other installer and it will install. I have for example installed Google Earth Pro correctly and it runs OK. Rosetta has been discussed in Parallels forums and can be found via a search, but the articles really don't explain well what I have said above. Clearly, there may be some Intel Apps/Programs which may not run without problems. For example there are Forum articles where members have tried to install Windows 10 on their Apple Silicon MacBooks. Note that I am running the Beta Tahoe MacOS 26 and there is a note that Rosetta will be obsoleted with the release of MacOS 27. As a side note, not all software vendors have made conversions for Tahoe MacOS, of course. But I was able to download Canon's software for my camera by choosing for download the Sierra MacOS version and it seems to run OK. Be aware.
## Note that I am running the Beta Tahoe MacOS 26 and there is a note that Rosetta will be obsoleted with the release of MacOS 27. I suppose the caution here is that after the release and upgrade to MacOS 27, migrated intel apps that relied on Rosetta 2 will afterwards no longer be supported without re-purchase of the same apps compatible with Apple Silicon processors and MacOS 27 and later. And there's that bite that such maps may afterwards require subscriptions vice free on-time purchase. Microsoft Word and the other MS apps in 365 serve as examples of that. That's something for all to think on, yes? Yes indeed.
