How long is it likely to be before Parallels becomes available for Mini ARM?

you can already get the parallels desktop 16 technical preview for arm this video im linking shows it off and its really neat looking foward to getting one myself to mess with it. It only works with arm operating systems though no x86 linux or windows

The technical preview I got last month doesn't work on ARM.

I'm running the tech preview on my M1 machine and it's very useable, but also far from ready. It's free to try it this way, so you may want to give it a shot. As mentioned, just make sure you're setting it up correctly with the proper versions.

Parallels Technical Preview is working fine on my M1 MBA, together with the most recent version of Windows 10 on ARM Insider Preview.

I reused a Windows 10 License Key from an older Parallels VM to activate Windows 10 for ARM with the Tech Preview.. Works fine, but also has its limitations.

Parallels Technical Preview for ARM plus the Windows on ARM Insider Preview (current) work surprisingly well on my 8/256 M1 Mac mini.
