But, we don't have enough information to really make a determition about whether that's happening or not, IMHO. Dazu gehören die neuesten Versionen von macOS und die beiden ARM-Versionen von Windows 10 und 11. ago AMD is not the same as Apple Silicon. The only way to get them to work is to use Parallels. Windows 10/11 ARM builds are not natively installable on a Mac. That starts to look like Microsoft forcing you to buy a preferred partner vendor's (Intel's) hardware to run their software product, when it would otherwise work on a non-preferred vendor's hardware (Apple). The only non-macOS operating system you can install on an M1 Mac is Asahi Linux.

The first position starts to look more dubious if they're specifically going out of their way to break Windows' ability to function on the M(x) chips. Windows 10 for ARM-based machines like the M1 MacBook, MacBook Air, Mac mini, and newly launched iMac, can be downloaded via Microsoft’s website. The second is, IMHO, perfectly reasonable, even if I think it's a bad move long term for Microsoft to shut themselves out of an entire hardware platform, and certainly not a good look for them.

Or: Are they just saying that it's unsupported, they're not going to promise it works, and Microsoft Tech Support won't help you if you do it? It’s crazy how Apple has optimized the thermals of its new M1 chips. So the question is: Does the Windows 10/11 license explicitly forbid certain types of virtualization, and if yes, is that prohibition defined in a way that clearly encapsulates running Windows 10/11 (ARM version) on a Mac M(x) chip? Both Teams and Edge are optimized for Apple M1 silicon, and both apps chug along nicely, without the casing getting hot. Microsoft, a private entity, can't declare anything illegal. They can take a position that a practice is in violation of their license agreement for Windows 10/11, but until a court rules on the matter, one can't make a statement on whether the practice is actually illegal.
