    I am wondering, has Parallels issued any public statement/comment on its ability to continue to support VMs on the Mac OS moving forward? There have been many articles indicating that Apple is close (next 12 months) to releasing its first Mac with a custom A-series ARM chip, like iPads and iPhones use. This is the start to the eventual move away from Intel-based chips.

    I have also read rumors of Microsoft having an ARM-based version of Windows in the works....bottom line, I am wondering, without specifics or details can I be confident I'll be able to run Windows VMs on a Mac if they move to ARM chips, or should I start planning now for another solution? Has anything been communicated by Parallels? I assume this is not news within Parallels as the Windows-VM customer base has to be a pretty large percentage of users. I am looking for some assurances.

    Thanks!
