    I am using NTFS compression on my BootCamp and it gives me about 10% extra free space with no detectable performance impact. I am now thinking of using it on Parallels Win 11 VMs on M1, since my MacBook Pro 13" is stuck at 2TB. Has anybody tried this? Have you seen any performance degradation?

    Paralells Desktop + ARM Windows on M1 Pro

    Running emulated Intel apps for my work on virtualised Insider ARM build of Windows. Am I going to have headaches, or will I be fine? I know people run Parallels just fine on 8GB Macs, so 16GB RAM should be plenty. Please share your experience with Parallels running on Apple silicon.

    This is a poll. If forced, would you pick Apple to abandon computers or mobile devices, under a hypothetical situation?
