@dminter I don't necessarily disagree with you about what's actually going on. Yes it works. And it works today. 

For non-corporate users, you may not care if Microsoft doesn't support the platform and it works for you. 

For use in a commercial environment, supportability and licensing absolutely matters. Tell your bosses that Microsoft won't do anything when there's a problem with Windows 11 on the M1 Mac that you're using - that's an IT résumé generating event..

And if there is indeed an exclusivity agreement between Microsoft and Qualcomm, Microsoft would be at the mercy of Qualcomm's lawyers if they announced support for a product that Qualcomm is supposed to have an exclusive agreement for.

IMO, the length of time that the non-supported use of a product is ignored means nothing. Microsoft isn't getting paid for Windows 11 on the M1 Mac, so do you really think they care if a small minority of users squawk if Microsoft enforces not running on unsupported configurations?
