Support for Windows 11 Guest OS, VMware Workstation Player

Does anyone know VMWare's plans for support of Windows 11 as a Guest OS (oh, and as a host OS too)?

There are a whole list of hardware requirements for Windows 11, and so I'm wondering if and how VMWare plans to address these?  Will Windows 11 be usable in VMWare Workstation Player?  Will Workstation Pro be required in order to create a Windows 11 Guest?

Required:

  • Processor (must emulate a processor that implements the right instructions)
  • RAM (yeah)
  • Storage (yeah)
  • UEFI 
  • TPM 2.0
  • DirectX 12 with WDDM 2.0 driver

Plus a whole list of "Feature Specific" items.
