I'm mostly a Mac user as well but I also use Linux and Windows a lot. My primary daily computer at home is an M1 Macbook Air. I have some Ham radio and police scanner utilities that are Windows only so I run Parallels Desktop for Mac. It allows me to run Windows, Linux, etc. on my Mac simultaneously as Virtual Machines.. The XP Deus updater runs fine on my Macbook using Parallels. It is a very elegant solution, best of both worlds.
