    I find it a bit strange that a company that pays employees to develop software has free software like UTM Virtual Machine, which runs smoothly on both x86 and x86_64 systems. What's stopping you from running it smoothly on an 8GB RAM Mac M1, just like UTM? I would like to work with Parallels security, with the available tools, because I trust the company, but in this case UTM is doing a good job, a very good job, but it's not like a Parallels desktop.

    Is there a path to making this feature usable? It sounds like it has not improved much in quite some time. I have a lot of hardware (USB) and software that only supports Intel/Windows, and it would be nice to not have to carry 2 laptops!

    Emulation will always be slow on current operating systems, even QEMU does not offer native performance with emulated hardware. Mostly I have not ran into an application that required the intel version of Windows with the exception of Microsoft SQL Server Data Management Studio which Microsoft has not bothered to actually fix because they do not see the reason even for their own ARM based computers.
