Reading the VMWare blog was a little confusing. Parallels announced support for running windows on M1 a couple of weeks ago: https://www.parallels.com/news/press-releases/show/2021-pd16-5-m1chip/ https://www.parallels.com/news/press-releases/show/2021-pd16... With Parallels, it's an "insider Preview", so it appears the limiting factor is Windows releasing a finished version of the OS that includes an emulation layer that works well enough on apple silicon that it's not a preview? Is that vmware's issue?

Parallels is owned by Corel, not Microsoft.

  Conversely, the VM product line that Microsoft acquired is Virtual PC (though they did not buy out Connectix as a whole).
