Can some you share a light in the use and applicability of MacOS (15.X) on Parallels 20 on M4? Note that W11 (ARM) supports X86, even some old software works. For MacOS (older none silicon versions are not supported). The App Store seems not workable due to limitations (experienced, and noted in KBs), x86 versions of MacOS or Windows 10 are not use able (experienced, pro has experimental support for x86 but I did not get it to work - others has same experience). XCode (did not try it myself) I read is not usable... due to Apple restrictions - leaves the question, please clarify, what is the purpose of Parallels 20 in M4 ?
 
in Apple Silicon devices, there is no ability to use 32-bit applications. However, all 64-bit applications designed for the ARM Windows 11 architecture work very well.
 
If you read my post, ... that is why I speak for older versions of MacOS (Intel) and older PVMs. That W11 ARM works is an irrelevant remark since it is default in v20. But yes, W11 ARM even supports x86 app. The usability of v20 on Apple Silicon is limited (no app store and no legacy MacOS). Anyway.
