Yes.. legally


(thanks, I was trying to make the point that this was probably a fear apple had)


Legally you 'can', but does apple have to support it? do they have to expose those apis to the public? are they forced to implement them and spend the time to do validation testing for it?


Does Microsoft have to offer browser choice on its OS?


Hypervisor support on Windows is extremely expensive for Microsoft to maintain. Would Microsoft have a judgement against them if they removed it from e.g. Windows 12?

Before hyper-v there was Virtualbox, which is a "you can build it if you spend your time building it". I'm asking if the situation is that Apple must build their hyper-v equivalent, or if they just need to allow third parties to build and publish software-based emulation engines.
