Are there an official roadmap about the development of VMware Tools for enable the Copy/paste and shared file between macOS and Windows11 ARM ?

AFAIK, no. As a public company, they don’t disclose content or timing of future releases.

We do know that the product manager sees this as an important deliverable, but that’s about as much as anyone knows publicly.

Of all the times that I understand, but don't like, that policy it's now. Fusion needs some TLC

The reason why VMware does not publish the road map may be that they do not know when they can complete the support. Failure to publish may be just a statement. After all, a long time has passed.

That may be true, but in general many public companies do not publish public roadmaps because accounting rules may force the deferral of product revenues because of a feature they have promised but have not yet delivered.

Even if they do give one under NDA to certain customers, there's no guarantee that the features will arrive when they say. I used to give these NDAs to my customers for the company I worked for in my pre-retirement life, and the feature content of future releases was laced with caveats.
