Given that so much of VMware's business is for the virtualization of Microsoft product in their enterprise client base, it's understandable that they take this position as they have more to lose by incurring Microsoft's wrath.

This also means that they won't officially support Windows for ARM on Apple Silicon for the same reasons. They came to the conclusion that those agreements would not allow development of VMware Tools for Windows for ARM on Apple Silicon in a properly licensed manner.

They're telling you that license compliance isn't their problem.Parallels is doing it (again IMO) because: VMware being a solid company is IMO the exact reason why they don't provide support for Windows for ARM on Apple Silicon.
