I haven't messed around with Parallels in a while, but the last time I did, I noted that it's gotten even more expensive than it was in the past, so I'm a little hesitant to test the waters with what appears to be a mostly experimental Windows 11 build. Again, I'm curious if anyone has experimented with it.

Secondly, I noticed that Parallels already has a rudimentary solution for running Windows - specifically the ARM preview version of Windows 11 (which itself has x86 emulation baked in). I'm wondering if anyone has gone down this road and to what extent you've had success. I noticed that CodeWeavers have capitalized on this as they have a ton of ads whenever you start searching for M1 compatibility options for legacy 32-bit Intel apps (obviously already eliminated in Monterrey) as well as Windows apps (and primarily games). Of course it doesn't run, even with Rosetta, but that led me to wonder what the present and future state of Windows software running on the Mac will be.

Rosetta seems to be working just fine for the purpose of running Intel apps, and the performance is shockingly good.Īfter I had gotten all of my core apps installed and tested, I was reminded about virtualization options (or lack thereof) when I noticed my VMWare Fusion install had ported over from my Time Machine backup.

I'm very pleased with the performance and overall quality of the machine, especially as compared to my 2018 MBA. So, I bit the bullet and made the jump to an M1 Pro-powered MacBook Pro.
