![]() Parallels is desperate and should be if there is no sustainable business model for ARM based virtualization of Windows and Linux, the company is done once Apple macOS stops supporting Intel Macs. VMWare, the company, is in a different position, its business model isn’t dependent on selling Fusion, in fact Fusion at best breaks even or makes a modest profit.

It will run ARM based versions of Windows software fine it can also run Intel Windows apps, but does so in emulation mode. So if you have an M1 Mac and wanted to run macOS guest virtual machines, not possible at this time stick with an Intel Mac. There are various ARM based flavors of Linux. On Intel Macs it runs basically unchanged as it has for the past few years. ![]() It is ONE product, shipped as an Universal app you don’t have to worry about ordering the Intel or M1 version of Parallels separately.
