I know parallels is in it for Virtualization and not Emulation, but... but.. but... I now have 2 decades worth of x86 VMs that are... what, useless on an M1 mac? I wish for Parallels and Apple to work together to get Rosetta "uplifted" enough that it can (somehow?) function as the back end emulator for all these old VMs? I know i know, "that's not how that works". Okay fine, so I wish Parallels or some third party would create a true emulation environment for all my old Parallels VMs. Sigh. We can't keep kicking "backward compatibility" to the curb...
--OMG, first world problems... M1 is the new generation for things to move forward, just have a separate PC like the rest of the world to run your old VMs on. smdh
