![]() Result: own two computers again (consoles can bite my shiny metal ass). Now Apple is moving away from Macs even being able to run intel Windows software at all. Sadly, there hasn’t been a suitable desktop Mac in almost a decade (GPU, heat, etc). The setup didn’t need to be 100% equal to a Windows PC in performance, just be comparable. It used to be that we could have a Mac for both Mac OS and Windows. Unfortunately, gaming on Macs is nowhere near the level of gaming on Windows. Sounds simple to you, doesn’t it? Thing is, I don’t want to have TWO computers to maintain. If you need to run Windows then buy a Windows PC. M1-based models of the iMac and iPad Pro are set to release in May. Updated models of the 13-inch MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and Mac mini launched in November. " doesn't say anything about Apple Silicon." The company added, "For the time being, our work has been focused on Linux guest operating systems, and we're confident that if Microsoft offers Windows on Arm licenses more broadly, we'll be ready to officially support it."Īpple introduced the first Macs with Apple Silicon in November 2020. While rival Parallels has updated its VM app with Windows support for M1 Macs, VMware says Windows on ARM presents some licensing gray areas that it isn't comfortable dismissing without clarification. ![]() It's currently only available to install as a Tech Preview in Microsoft's Windows Insider program. Microsoft offers an ARM version of Windows. Installing Windows or Linux from an x86 ISO, for example, will not work." The company updated users in a blog post this week, adding that it plans on delivering a Public Tech Preview of VMware Fusion for Apple Silicon "before the end of this year."Įxplaining its stance on x86 VMs, VMware says, "To be a bit blunt, running x86 operating systems on Apple silicon is not something we are planning to deliver with this project. So it's a feature that is the Microsoft Solution for me, 100% accurate and totally useless.Virtualization company VMware says Fusion won't support x86 operating systems We may need to go there eventually, but it is a very small part of the Windows deployments, nothing we need to address ATM. I actually need a functioning Dropbox client (not available on ARM, it's simply a web client wrapper) and I am unsure the lower level binaries we build/use work on ARM, haven't got that far. Windows ARM is pretty much useless for me (yes I have a working VM). I did a post on some forum, that basically said I though Parallels was a dead business model with Silicon, and had a dozen or so replies that said Windows ARM was great and posters could run all of their software on it and that they though Parallels was a great product. We have clearly documented how we wind back the macMini to it's start state. Correct, there are no snapshots on a physical device, but at least it performs as expected, not the garbage of Parallels macOS VMs. We have purchased the cheapest macMini and use that as the test device. We have abandoned testing of macOS Silicon on Parallels because, as you suggest, it is useless. Has anyone been able to get the fully featured macOS VM Menu System on ARM with all of the menu items and options?Ĭlick to expand.It's hard to imagine how Parallels state they have support for Apple Silicon. So the whole ARM thing is very disappointing.Īnyway, rant mode off. I have got Windows 11 ARM working, but that, for me at least, is useless because there is no Dropbox client which I need (other than Dropbox S Mode - which is basically a waste of space - lots of complaints to Dropbox, no action). I was using the trial and thought that it might have been a limitation of the trial, so bought a standard subscription, nope same. This is what virtualisation is all about and makes it generally useless for me. ![]() I have successfully created a macOS VM on an Apple Silicon macBook.
