Mac M2/ Sonoma 14.0/Windows 11 ARM

During my recent support session, vmware's (excellent) engineer clearly stated that an update from 13.0.2 would be available before the end of September to resolve the issue with Windows 11 ARM, namely drop and drag/copy/share between the Mac/Windows environments.
Anyone know the status?
I'm still stuck with a barely usable product despite the claim:

 

"Choose from hundreds of supported operating systems, from cloud-ready Linux distributions to the latest Windows 11 on Intel or Apple Silicon Macs, all without rebooting."

VMware never committed publicly to a Fusion release in September. The only thing they said is “later this year”. As a publicly traded company, VMware is very secretive about release dates and content of future versions. They haven’t given any specific date (which is their corporate policy), and you probably won’t get one. 

Use the 2023 Tech Preview public beta release if you need copy/paste/drag/drop today for Windows 11 ARM VMs. Even though it is a beta release, it is very stable. 

There are also reports that installing the released VMware Tools 12.3.0 (which you can download at https://customerconnect.vmware.com/downloads/info/slug/datacenter_cloud_infrastructure/vmware_tools/... enable drag/drop/copy/paste when used with Fusion 13.
