I am in the same boat. We build a niche product that serves a Windows market (an add-on to Windows-only software). We use Macs for a variety of reasons and I'm terrified at the possibility of having to switch. If we don't get performant virtualization a la Parallels or VMWare Fusion for x86, my entire toolchain falls apart and I have no choice but to dump Mac. I'm sure there are a ton of other developers that depend on virtualization. I hope Apple has considered this and can talk about a solid path forward for x86 virtualization as soon as the ARM transition is announced.
