Note that the new M1 Chip brings power, performance, and speed, however, it does prevent you from locally virtualizing Windows with applications such as Boot Camp or VMWare Fusion. Currently, we are evaluating different solutions in order to develop an institutional solution that can be utilized to easily virtualize Windows-based applications when needed.
