I purchased a new Mac (Studio M1 chip) in the hopes of moving everything to it, only to find out that it does NOT support Intel chipped windows or at least it has not so far.
So, I am stuck with 8.5 and my old Mac.
I run numerous client OS versions. 2003 Windows server, 2008 Windows server, Windows 7 ultimate, Windows 10, Red Hat Linux, Ubunto, and few others and have customers that are tied to these versions that I am supporting.
I would not hold my breath on ether Fusion or Parallels being able to run x86/x64 operating systems on Apple Silicon. . Neither VMware or Parallels is in the CPU chipset emulation business. And QEMU shows us that CPU emulation doesn’t perform well.
As far as the Mac goes, the Intel ship has sailed and will be over the horizon out of sight in a couple of years
