> For years, Mac enthusiasts have spread the lie that the best way to run Windows was on a Mac. But with Windows 11 on Arm, it might not be a lie: Windows 11 on Arm seems to run better in a Parallels Desktop 18-based virtualized environment than it does on native Arm PC hardware.

Beautiful backhanded compliment. But Windows did seem to work OK on x86 Mac laptops via Boot Camp, and I have certainly heard of Windows users who preferred Apple hardware. Though as noted in the comments, Apple doesn't currently do touchscreens (though they could decide to change that.)


It's a bit more challenging to get it up and running with Windows, and has fewer features, but VMWare Fusion Player is free and runs great.


win11 arm on mac isnt new. Give me x64 and that will be nice.


Have you tried it? It does run x64 windows apps well.
