Reply to comment by PerpetuallyOffline in Microsoft officially blesses Parallels as a way to run Windows on M1, M2 Macs by ActivePersona

doesn't Microsoft have an exclusively contract with Qualcomm meaning they can't make it work with Boot camp till the deal is over?

Correct, as far as I know that is still in place for some unknown amount of time. Alongside that initial report about the deal from 2021, was info that Microsoft was working with Qualcomm and MediaTek on chips for ARM based Windows PCs. When ever Microsoft decides it's ready to launch and move forward with those is when i think the deal will magically end and Windows for ARM will be open for manufacturers to run wild with.
