There will ever be Trados optimized for Mac?

Question

Hello team of Trados ! 
 I am a freelance translator and I run Trados since 2021 on my MacBook pro. 
 Because of the difficulty of use (the installation of windows obviously slows all the processes and occupies a huge amount of ram) and the expenses (windows, parallels..), I am testing other CAT Tools and sadly thinking of abandon Trados. 
 Since I like Tradoa, I live hoping a version of Trados for Mac users gets developed, before I definitely abandon it. Thus, I wanted to ask you: 
 Are you ever planning of launching a Mac version of Trados? Do you think this could ever happen? 
 Thank you very much for your assistance, 
 Sara

 I think it's very unlikely that we will ever create a desktop version of Trados Studio that runs in the current MAC environment without using parallels or some other similar tool to put windows into a MAC. It may be that Apple start to support a .NET environment in the future and this would help... I did hear work of this nature some time ago, although to be honest I have not followed this development. 
 For now however you could work with the online version as this will work in a browser which means you could work natively in your MAC. Every Freelance licence since 2021 offers this possibility where you can create your projects and work on them entirely online.

Trados Studio > 1. Trados Studio
