We also wanted to take the opportunity, since we’re so close to VMworld which has a bit of a different schedule this year, is to let folks know that we won’t be releasing a “paid upgrade” for either Fusion or Workstation this year as we often have.

Join the Tech Preview Community Fusion and Workstation Fall Release Update We’re going to be keeping the Public Tech Preview active for at least the rest of this year and likely into spring, and so we won’t be pulling in these changes into our fall release, which means Fusion on Apple silicon is effectively FREE for all users for the time being. The scope and scale of this undertaking should not be understated, and the success of this project has been the result of a massive ongoing collaboration from many internal teams working together, entirely remotely as we do in this day in age.

To deliver Fusion for Apple Silicon devices we’ve had to re-evaluate every part of the Fusion technology stack. Parallels Desktop supports mac OS Ventura (when released), macOS Monterey, macOS Big Sur 11, macOS Catalina 10.15, and macOS Mojave 10.14. Fusion will not support running VMs across different architectures. With more than a year in development, and a few weeks of a successful Private Tech Preview, it’s finally time for us to show the world what we’ve been working on. This is the first version of VMware that can run Windows 11 without any hacks or workarounds, on both Intel. VMware released a Tech Preview for the Mac version of Fusion on Thursday, which works similarly to Parallels Desktop. To be honest, it might be time for businesses to look at either virtual desktops or Microsoft's Windows 365 'Windows in the cloud' service. VMWare is still testing support for Apple’s new M1 or M2 chipsets (Apple Silicon), and now Windows 11 is supported. It is with great pride and pleasure that we announce the public availability of VMware Fusion for Apple Silicon Public Tech Preview! As far as 'Microsoft says that Windows running on an M1 Mac is not a supported scenario and won't be', both VMware and Microsoft appear to be saying 'never say never'.
