Emulation might work, but anyone's guess how efficient that will be. Virtualization of Windows Intel x86 on Apple Silicon, as we have come to enjoy with Fusion and Parallels, is not possible (don't confuse virtualization with EMULATION, as many people do). With the coming of Apple Silicon, which is NOT Intel architecture, Apple has made very clear that BootCamp will not be available. VMWare Workstation and Fusion will cross license).

F12 Pro will replace F11 Pro and will include license for 3 devices, INCLUDING Windows and Linux (i.e.

Fusion 12 PLAYER will be free for personal use and replaces the 'standard' version of Fusion 11. If you buy F11 after June 15, you will get a free upgrade. F11 will be the last release to support Mojave. The future of Fusion: Fusion 12 is coming (already available as Technology Preview), it is based on very different design and is only for Catalina or Big Sur due to Apple design changes in macOS.

Next Question, if you can run Windows ARM as VM on a M1 Mac, will it be possible some day to install Windows ARM NATIVELY to a Apple Silicon Mac, a la bootcamp? I think all that would be needed is a special bootloader to trick Windows ARM into thinking it is a Surface Pro or something. There was no competition before, so Qualcomm and Microsoft had no pressure to push Windows ARM or the Surface Pro, it just had to be good enough. Ironically, because the M1 is so fast, according to some reviews, Windows ARM runs faster as a VM on a M1 Mac than it does on a Surface Pro natively. I wonder if VMware has a skunk works project going on to do the same I'm sure VMWare is watching how the Parallels experiment goes and whether consumers take to it. Even still the, it's actually quite amazing that it can be done, that a 32/64-bit Intel Windows app can run under emulation on a ARM version of Windows built for Qualcomm's ARM chip, running as a Virtual Machine on a Apple Mac with a Apple designed ARM processor. Lingering application issues, emulation of Intel, problems running older 32-bit Intel apps (under emulation). It's a proof of concept, the bigger issue is, will running the ARM version Windows satisfy people who want to run Windows on a Apple Silicon Mac, because Windows ARM still has it's own issues even on official Windows hardware like the Surface Pro. I've tried it, it works, for the most part, still a lot of work to do, but interesting. Intel agrees and has made hand-off of such chores to accelerator cards a feature of its forthcoming Sapphire Rapids Xeon server processor.So, Parallels is showing off a Technical Preview of Parallels that can run the ARM version of Windows on Apple Silicon apps. Virtzilla thinks the latter effort has the potential to create a new normal for data centre architecture in which CPU cores are relieved of the need to do housekeeping work like running network traffic. The other is Project Monterey вЂ“ an effort to get ESXi running on accelerator cards. One is the 'fling' that runs on devices including the Raspberry Pi. VMware has two other efforts to bring its flagship ESXi hypervisor to Arm silicon.

Whenever Fusion for M1 arrives, it has competition waiting in the form of Parallels Desktop which, as we wrote last month, does a very fine job of running Windows 10 on Apple silicon.

Connections to VMs on other VMware hypervisors on other architectures will be possible.

For now, Ubuntu VMs can only do 3D with on-CPU graphics.

Support for GPU-equipped VMs is on the development roadmap.

'We have to use a whole different set of APIs, and that breaks ESXi compatibility,' Roy wrote.

Windows 10 will work, but Fusion will ship without drivers nor VMware Tools, and won't be supported because Microsoft currently does not sell licences of Windows 10 Arm for virtual machines.

Roy answered a few questions about Fusion for M1's features and revealed: If VMware holds true to form the product will be real by year's end вЂ“ maybe even in early October at the VMworld gabfest, at which new cuts of VMware's desktop hypervisors have often been released. Later tweets from Roy suggest that a public tech preview will follow in a couple of weeks. We're not taking _everyone_ just yet, but you can submit a request to join here: Michael Roy, who oversees VMware's Fusion and Workstation desktop hypervisors, took to Twitter with the news that Fusion for M1 is now in a closed tech preview.ДЄre you interested in joining our Private Tech Preview for on silicon? VMware has kind-of announced a hypervisor for Arm processors, or at least one of them: Apple's M1 system-on-a-chip.
