With Windows on ARM however, this presents a unique situation, particularly as it relates to Licensing. Of course, users are expecting to run Windows in a virtual machine, much like we’ve been used to for many years now. That’s the experience I had hoped for, but there’s some bad news too, at least for some users: So we’re very encouraged by our early results, and seriously can’t wait to get it on every Apple silicon equipped Mac out there. Even with that said, and note that I’m using ‘debug’ builds which perform slower, in my 12 years at VMware I’ve never seen VMs boot and run like this. Of course, just booting a bunch of VMs that are mostly idle isn’t quite a ‘real world experience’, nor is it the same as doing some of the stress testing that we perform in the leadup to a release.

You can see here that I have 7 ARM VMs booted at once… 2 are CLI only (Photon and BSD), the others are full desktops… each is configured with 4CPU and 8GB of RAM. Michael Roy, giving an update on how development work on Fusion of Apple silicon is going:
