What I find even more interesting is the improvements for Linux VMs. You can use Rosetta2 in the latest version of MacOS (Ventura) so that all x86 translation can be performed natively in MacOS. Also, partly due to Asahi Linux development (I think), progress is being made for the GPU drivers, as described in the VMWare update blog;
Improved Linux VM Support on Apple Silicon
Working with the communities of various operating systems and open source open-source projects such as Mesa, Linux, as well as our own open-vm-tools, we’ve made many enhancements to the Linux on Apple silicon experience. Patches have been upstreamed to address a variety of kernel-related issues, as well as enhancements to the Mesa SVGA graphics driver to bring 3D hardware acceleration and OpenGL 4.3 + GLES 3.1 support to Linux VMs with Mesa 22.1.1 and later. (note: 3D and OpenGL 4.3 requires 5.19 kernel and Mesa 22.1.1 or greater).
I think it is also easier and faster to use a Linux VM + Wine to run windows applications instead of Windows. Hopefully after the exclusive deal on ARM windows there will be a public release of Windows ARM so that the developments can go even faster. The biggest barrier is still the GPU driver.
