(And I doubt I'll buy another M1 machine until there's a decent emulator or translator for Windows x86 stuff.) I live in a very Windows world.Is it that nobody wants to hold Microsoft’s feet to the fire on this because it it their refusals that’s ultimately causing this issue.Īnd please explain why they should? Why should Microsoft be expected to spend their resources to create and then Support (which ultimately costs way more, with QA and Help Desk, etc. I do like my M1 based Macbook Air, it's fast and stable for Most MacOS stuff, but for work, ehhhhh. Having worked with the Parallels beta, I can't say as I'm interested in M1 virtualization at all, so I doubt I'd buy anyone's version of it.

QEMU already does the emulation part, even the boot environment, but it lacks the drivers for the VM's. All it would really take is the boot environment tweaking, and a set of drivers to run in the VM to get decent performance. Really, the code is out there for x86(64) emulation in many different things. That is an interesting question, but I suspect it's way too much targeted at MacOS x86 for it to be useful to emulate x86 Windows in a VM. >The open question is will Apple either enable/allow/support Fusion using Rosetta 2, or will VMWare decide they want to be in the emulation rather >than virtualization business. Like you say, they'd really have to license it for it to be useful. If you think Windows had a multiple dll versions problem before, you haven't seen nothing yet. It's early beta level quality and I don't like the way it does the x86 code. It's not good enough for work, it just doesn't run well enough. And that wasn't the first I'd worked with emulators.)Īnyway, I have Windows on ARM running in Parallels on my M1 Mac. (I was a Microsoft MVP in the virtual machine area with Virtual PC, and up through Hyper-V. I've been working with emulators and virtualization for decades and on many platforms. No, it's not rocket science, far from it. After that, well, best guess would be fall (maybe part of the new OS). I hope we'll see that in the next few weeks or months. Hopefully we'll get a nice surprise at some point this year, but step one is Fusion for ARM guests. My crystal ball is pretty cloudy on that - the only thing it shows is that anyone who needs intel workloads for the foreseeable future needs to use an intel machine. The open question is will Apple either enable/allow/support Fusion using Rosetta 2, or will VMWare decide they want to be in the emulation rather than virtualization business. It's a bit of a moot point as well, since it's only licensed to OEM's. The best short term bet is Microsoft's x86 emulation inside of Windows ARM (which is akin to Rosetta) but it isn't very good at the moment.
But that's only a portion of the work required to be able to emulate a CPU for an entire operating system. Getting an emulator right is extremely difficult, and what Apple's been able to do with Rosetta 2 is pretty impressive.

I also tried to install earlier version of Mac OS and even Windows 10 but always get the same message.ĭo you have any idea or any suggestion ? I'm glad I did not buy it yet since I tend to doubt the real compatibility of the product.Īctually, it *is* rocket science.
But it still crashes with the same error on my MacBook. I've tried to migrate the VM created on the iMac and to create a new VM from scratch using Apple MacOS 10.6 server installer. When I try the same process on the MacBook, I get an error (in French) that translates like this: "Fail to activate /Users/myuser/Documents/MacOSX.vmwarevm/Mac OS X Server 10.6 64 bits.vmx' The installation runs well on the iMac and the old Mac OS version is running smoothly. The version 12 is said to be compatible with both Big Sur and M1 chip. I've 2 computers : one iMac Pro running Big Sur and one brand new MacBook Pro with M1 chip also running Big Sur.

I'm new at VMWare Fusion, I've downloaded the trial version of Fusion Pro for Mac OS to run an old version of Mac OS (10.6 server). I'll have to find another way to run my old business application.

Update : Ok, after some more digging, I finally understand that Fusion is not compatible with M1 chip for the time being.
