Windows has announced a new partnership with Parallels to bring official Windows 11 virtual machines to Apple Silicon Macs. This collaboration will allow users of the latest Macs running on Apple’s custom ARM-based processors to run Windows applications natively, without having to resort to third-party emulation solutions.
The announcement was made at Microsoft’s Build 2021 event and is seen as a significant step forward in bridging the gap between two rival operating systems. With this move, both companies hope it will make life easier for developers who need access to both platforms for their workflows and projects.
Parallels Desktop 16 for M1 Mac provides an optimized experience specifically designed around macOS Big Sur and its underlying hardware architecture, allowing users maximum performance from their devices when running Windows apps alongside those from the App Store or other sources such as Steam or Epic Games Store.
This match made in heaven is sure to be welcomed by many professionals who rely on multiple platforms but don’t want to compromise on either one – now they can have full access without needing separate machines or complex setup processes! It also opens up more possibilities for gamers looking forward take advantage of cross-platform gaming opportunities available with the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription service, which allows them to play games across PC, console, and mobile devices alike!
