Parallels says its software will provide full support for Windows 11 when the operating system launches in October.ItвЂ™s been a few months since our informal announcement via Twitter back in November where we committed to delivering VMware VMs on Apple silicon devices, so we wanted to take this opportunity to share a bit about how our progress with our little project to bring Fusion to life on Apple silicon Macs this year.

VMware Fusion's private tech preview arrives roughly a month after Parallels Desktop 17 debuted with M1 support for ARM previews of Windows 10 and 11.

Also not included is support for x86 Intel-based distributions of Windows and Linux, and macOS VMs are still in development.

'I'm not sure what else I'm allowed to say other than 'we're not operating in a vacuum on this'.'ДЄs noted by MacRumors, Roy added that Windows VMs should run in Fusion as an 'other' operating system alternative, but the company will not be providing first-party drivers and tools. 'VMware has had a pretty strategic partnership with MS for a long time.

That said, the company is working to bring Fusion in line with Microsoft's end-user license agreement. Windows is considered a 'second priority' as Microsoft does not currently license Windows 10 ARM and while Parallels feels comfortable integrating support for the operating system into its virtualization solution, VMware does not.

A public beta is expected in about two weeks.Дetails of the latest iteration of VMware Fusion were outlined in an April blog post that notes a specific focus on Linux VMs. VMware this week released a private beta version of Fusion for M1 Macs, though users eager to run Windows VMs on their new MacBook Air might want to look elsewhere.ДЄnnounced in a tweet from VMware Fusion manager Michael Roy, the release is officially considered a private tech preview, meaning those interested must request access to the software. VMware Fusion for M1 Macs gets private beta, official Windows support not included At the moment, GPU support does not work properly on virtual machines, and in Ubuntu it is only possible to accelerate 3D graphics using the CPU.ДЄt the moment, VMware has not released any official communication regarding Windows 11 support. Additionally, VMWare Fusion will not run macOS 12 virtual machines (VMs), as the program must вЂњuse a completely different set of APIs and this breaks ESXi compatibilityвЂќ. However, the software developer will not provide drivers or VMware Tools, as Microsoft does not sell Windows for ARM separately. We're not taking _everyone_ just yet, but you can submit a request to join here: ДЄs for the limitations, Windows 10 will run as a Guest OS. The software will naturally compete with Parallels Desktop, which is already available and can even run Microsoft's Windows 11 on Intel and ARM-based Macs.ДЄre you interested in joining our Private Tech Preview for on silicon? The program will allow owners of the latest Macbook Air, Macbook Pro, iMac and Mac Mini to run Windows 10 and various Linux operating systems on their Macs. Those interested in trying the new software should submit a request to this address.ДЄccording to Roy, VMware plans to make its Fusion hypervisor available for Apple's ARM-based SoCs later this year. The new VMware Fusion hypervisor allows users to run Microsoft Windows on the latest Macs, but has a number of limitations.Д¬redit: WMware Michael Roy, Product Line Manager for desktop hypervisor products such as VMware Fusion and Workstation, has informally announced via Twitter (as reported by The Register) that the company has launched a private tech preview of its VMware Fusion for Apple Silicon. VMwareVMWare said this week that it will release the first technology preview of its hypervisor designed for systems based on Apple's M1 system-on-chip.
