Id imagine this is howwhy they were able to demo Parallels on Arm with relative ease: it was probably using the macOS provided hypervisor.

He says So everyone wants to know about Fusion on Apple Silicon macs of the future.

What Id like to ask the community: What do you want to see and why Knowing that Windows or Linux guests must be ARM only, what would you use it for Most of the people commenting and replying to it seem to either miss the Knowing that Windows or Linux guests must be ARM only or are asking from the standpoint of dreaming big andor acting as though either dreaming big or living in a world where pigs can fly.

They say things like being able to run x86 operating systems.

Those that do seem to at least acknowledge the ARM only part either talk optimistically of Windows 10 for ARM64 or just say that, without the ability to run x86 operating systems that theres no point.

Fusion Mac Could Only

If VMware Fusion on an ARM Mac could only emulate ARM OSes, Id personally be happy with the ability to virtualize Apple OSes, any ARM Linux variants out there and Windows 10 for ARM64.

But (a) I dont know if thats enough capability for it to sell terribly well, and (b) I dont know if the responses to that Tweet being largely being requests that Roy said cant happen or sentiments of I have no use for that.

Given all of this, and given that VMware seems to otherwise be readying the next Intel version of Fusion for Intel Macs, what do we think is in store for the future of VMware Fusion on ARM Do we think theyre going to not support ARM Macs Or do we think that theyll make something that gets us all of the virtualization that they can.

The question will be if it will actually be worthwhile to release such a VM.

A good portion of current customers bought a VM to run Windows Intel applications, in part games.

Windows 10 for Arm is not available as stand-alone product, MS has no intention to release it as such, and even so, its worthless to run games.

So why even bother Whether system administrators and developers will be enough to provide a sizeable market remains to be seen, especially considering the limitations of not being able to virtualise Intel systems.

Are we some kind of hive mind Anyway, I guess they will probably at least test the water and release an Arm version of their product, even if alone to avoid leaving the market to Parallels, who are already working on an Arm VM.

I think theyd be foolish to not expand on support and usage of Windows 10 for ARM64 by allowing it on the Mac IN SOME FASHION.

Similarly, as was the case last time, I think Apple would be foolish to not at least entertain the idea.

That and it was a good 10 months after the Intel switch was announced that Apple reversed a similar stance of being able to run Windows on the Intel Macs.

If nothing else, the ability to make even macOS VMs on an ARM Mac (albeit only of ARM based versions of Big Sur or newer) would be really useful But I dont know if thats enough to entice VMware.

Its very much a small piece of their total pie, and theyre otherwise pretty focused on x86.

It wasnt long ago that some of their web-based management interfaces required Flash.

They might still require it for all I know).

Parallels is pretty much focused all on Mac now, and they seem to adapting more closely to the Mac specific market - their regular product has the option to use either the Parallels or the Apple supplied hypervisor support, and they have a Mac App Store version which only uses the Apple provided Hypervisor.
