Uh....did we read the same article?? It's about natively running Windows 11 directly on ARM.

That is not what this article says at all. Quite the opposite.

To do so would probably require Apple to release some drivers (or hardware specs to Microsoft). It's not a matter of just "porting to ARM64" (which is already done), it's about porting to Apple's Apple Silicon platform.

No, it describes 2 options for running Windows: Streaming it from the cloud and virtualizing it via Parallels.

Windows lacks the drivers to run directly on M1/M2 Macs.

To be perfectly clear, the virtualization is for ARM, so you're getting native level performance with ARM apps and the Windows emulation of x86 instructions flies along pretty well too.
