Apple is bowing down to windows

Apple this week updated macOS Sierra to version
10.12.5 with more than three dozen security
patches, and a change that lets users install
Microsoft's latest version of Windows 10 on their
Macs.
Sierra 10.12.5 "adds support for media-free
installation of Windows 10 Creators Update using
Boot Camp," the update's brief release notes
read. Creators Update was the name Microsoft
assigned to Windows 10 1703 , the upgrade
issued last month.
Boot Camp, which is baked into macOS, lets Mac
owners run Windows on their machines. A
Windows license is required. Boot Camp, while
not virtualization software like VMware's Fusion
or Parallels International's Parallels Desktop,
serves the same purpose: Running Windows
applications, including custom or mission-critical
corporate software, on a Mac personal computer.
Previously, Mac users were forced onto a
circuitous road to put Windows 10 Creators
Update into Boot Camp. According to a Microsoft
support document published before the upgrade
was released, Mac owners first had to install an
.iso of 2016's Windows 10 Anniversary Update,
aka 1607 , to Boot Camp. Once 1607 was in place,
they could then upgrade Windows 10 to 1703
from within Boot Camp.
