Just what if the phone runs all desktop apps, has a android vm to run

I'm not sure what goes through people's minds when they say something like that. I get the impression they have some sort of Tron image where they go into the computer and have some sort of virtual keyboard, monitor and mouse available to their avatar while inside there. Then they can return to the real world having done all their work on this phone they carry around in their pocket. Perhaps it is even a Microsoft egonomic keyboard and Sculpt mouse or do they just get access to a Surface Pro?

I've given up on Windows. I am in the process of migrating some of the few remaining things that I do on Windows over to Mac. Right now I'm moving my Media Library to external drives. I've already moved my special devices over to the Mac (mostly Garmin stuff). So it's little-by-little on weekends. I feel that it's too little, too late for Windows.

One the phone issue: I have my Mac plugged into multiple monitors with wired keyboard, mouse, and an external drive. I run Virtual Machines on it from time to time. Can the Windows phone run a few VMs? Does it have the bandwidth (Thunderbolt 20 GB) on external devices?

I'm pretty happy with a laptop and a phone as separate devices so that they can each do what they do best.
