I'd be very curious to see if Microsoft is strategizing to bring native Windows 11 ARM forward in bootcamp again. This is certainly an endeavor I'd like to see them succeed at.
Hopefully Microsofts continued to lay foundations/groundwork so that there is a future here. The 圆4 emulation within Windows didn't show up until way later. Microsoft shit the bed with that and ARM support from third party apps never took off. When they unveiled the m1, Rosetta was ready to go and incredibly performant and lots of support/resources were available for big and small app developers to help them recompile their apps for ARM native. I've noticed there's ARM drivers on Microsofts site for a lot of things in the past year, something tells me Microsoft is gearing up to push windows ARM a little harder.Īpple played their cards well. I haven’t really run into any instances of windows software that I can’t get going in parallels, which is hilarious because it’s emulation within emulation and it somehow beats out the performance of my coworkers surface laptops and thinkpads. Edge case issues will be resolved, and we’ll see what further optimizations can be had. The parallels instance I have is light years faster than the shit windows env I was provided for work.įull Microsoft support of this type of setup in tandem with parallels is huge. When I’m not using the VM I just menubar > action > pause it and resources are freed up. I’m 80% working on the Mac side for development, but every once and then I have to dive in and support something windowsy and parallels in coherence mode where I can just spotlight search a windows app and run it like it’s running on the Mac side is wildly good. Small handful of edge case ODBC 64 bit driver workarounds I had to figure out (just had to create the odbc manager entries in regedit) but other than that when I need windows for building SSRS reports or excel tools, the experience has been excellent. Basically have replaced my work windows environment with this entirely. I’m that guy who’s been win 11 ARM’ing very hard in parallels.
